# The Judicial Pensions (Fee-Paid Judges) Regulations 2017, Regulation 110: Purchase of added years by active FPJAYS members


(1) A notice given by an active FPJAYS member (“M”) under regulation 104(2) must specify—
(a) M’s assumed contribution commencement date;
(b) M’s assumed retirement age;
(c) the number of qualifying fee-paid days which M proposes to work each year to the period ending with the date on which M reaches M’s assumed retirement age; and
(d) the number of added years M intends to purchase.

(a) be within 12 months of the date on which M gives the notice, and
(b) be agreed between M and the administrators.
(3) The maximum number of added years that M may purchase under the FPJAYS is to be determined in accordance with the formula 20−( A+B+C ) where—
(a) A is the aggregate length of reckonable service in eligible fee-paid judicial offices that M would have at M’s assumed retirement date, assuming that M works the number of qualifying fee-paid days notified under paragraph (1)(c);
(b) B is the aggregate length of service in qualifying judicial office (within the meaning of Part 1 of the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993) that M would have at M’s assumed retirement date; and
(c) C is the equivalent value of any retained benefits to which M was entitled at the assumed contribution commencement date.
(4) Where the maximum number of added years would (apart from this paragraph) be negative, it is instead nil.
