  "text": "(1) A notice given under regulation 117(2) by an active JASAPS member (“M”) must specify—\n(a) M’s assumed contribution commencement date;\n(b) M’s assumed retirement age;\n(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\n(d) the number of units of added surviving adult’s pension which M intends to purchase.\n(2) The maximum number of units which an active member may purchase in the JASAPS is the amount which the administrators determine would produce a pension equal to a sum calculated in accordance with the formula—\nA×( Y+Z ) 45 where—\n(a) A is—\n(i) where M held a single judicial office on the assumed contribution date, the salary which would have been M’s appropriate annual salary if M had retired on that date;\n(ii) where M held more than one judicial office on the assumed contribution date, the salary which would have the highest appropriate salary of these offices if M had retired on that date; and\n(b) Y is M’s reckonable service between the date on which M first held eligible fee-paid judicial office (or 7th April 2000 if later) and date on which M reaches M’s assumed retirement age (assuming that M works the number of qualifying fee-paid days notified under paragraph (1)(c)) expressed in years and fractions of a year to four decimal places;\n(c) Z is—\n(i) if M is purchasing added years, the number of added years which M would have purchased by the date on which M reaches M’s assumed retirement age, or\n(ii) if M is not purchasing added years, nil.\n(3) The date on which M is to start payment of periodic contributions (“the periodic contributions start date”) must—\n(a) be within 12 months of the date on which M gives the notice, and\n(b) be agreed between M and the administrators.",
