Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make a consequential amendment to section 30 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 (c.25) (“the 2013 Act”) following the enactment of section 18A of the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 (c.8) (“the 1993 Act”). That power enables the creation of a pension scheme for fee-paid judges including, in particular, making provision corresponding or similar to that made by or under Part 1 or section 20 of, or Schedules 2 or 2A to, the 1993 Act for salaried judges. Section 18A was inserted by section 78 of the Pension Schemes Act 2015 (c.8). This amendment will ensure that the relationship between the 2013 Act and a scheme created under section 18A of the 1993 Act will be the same as the relationship between the 2013 Act and other judicial pension schemes established by or under the 1993 Act.
