Regulation 22 Opting out after one month
This regulation applies if a person (P) opts out of this scheme in relation to a continuous period of service in a qualifying judicial office not less than one month after P’s first day of a continuous period of service in that office.
If P opts out of this scheme by opt-out notice, P ceases to be in pensionable service under this scheme in relation to that office—
on the first day of the first pay period beginning on or after the date on which the option is exercised; or
if the scheme manager considers that day inappropriate, on the first day of any later pay period the scheme manager considers appropriate.
If P opens a partnership pension account, P ceases to be in pensionable service under this scheme in relation to that office on the first date that is 31st March or 30th September—
after the period of one month beginning with the date on which that account is opened; or
after any shorter period the scheme manager considers appropriate.
