Paragraph 11 Compulsory retirement on grounds of disablementI1

Subject to paragraph (2), a regular firefighter may be required by the Board to retire on the date on which the Board determines that he ought to retire on the ground that he is permanently disabled.

A retirement under this article is void if, on an appeal against the medical opinion on which the Board acted in determining that he ought to retire, the independent medical referee appointed under Schedule 8 decides that the appellant is not permanently disabled.
