Regulation 4 Transitional provisions

An office holder who is a member of the Part I scheme by virtue of section 1(1)(b), (c) or (d), and who transferred into the Part I scheme before the coming into force of these Regulations, may opt to have his contributions liability assessed as if the 1995 Regulations were still in force and these Regulations had never been made.

If an office holder to whom paragraph (1) applies has died without having made an option, an option may be made by his personal representatives.

An option must be made in writing to the scheme administrators no later than 3 months after the date that the office holder ceased to hold qualifying judicial office.

An option made under this regulation shall be irrevocable.
