  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 by adding to the list of qualifying judicial offices in Schedule 1 and also to the list of relevant offices in Schedule 5 to that Act.\nThe office of Asylum Support Adjudicator becomes a qualifying office for the purpose of the 1993 Act; but the office of the Chief Asylum Support Adjudicator will only become a qualifying office in relation to a person appointed on or after the coming into force of this Order. The President of the Charity Tribunal will also become a qualifying office for the purpose of the 1993 Act.\nAsylum Support Adjudicators will become relevant offices for the purpose of Schedule 5 to the 1993 Act so that the provisions about retirement in section 26 of the 1993 Act will apply to persons holding the office of an Asylum Support Adjudicator. The President of the Charity Tribunal is not being added to Schedule 5 because the Charities Act 2006 already makes provision about retirement.",
