# Judicial Pensions Act 1981, Paragraph 8


(1) If an officer to whom this Schedule applies is removed from his office on the ground of his inability to discharge efficiently the duties of his office, and he is ineligible for a pension under paragraph 4 above, the Treasury may, if he thinks the special circumstances of the case justify it, grant him such a pension as the Treasury thinks just and proper, but not exceeding the amount for which the officer’s length of relevant service would qualify him under paragraph 4 above.
(2) Before making any grant under this paragraph the Treasury shall consider any representations which the officer may have submitted to it.
(3) The reasons for making any grant under this paragraph, and the amount of any such grant, shall be set out by the Treasury in a minute which shall be laid before Parliament within 14 days after being made.
