(1) A notice given under regulation 117(2) by an unretired JASAPS member (“M”) must specify—
(a) M's assumed contribution commencement date;
(b) M's assumed retirement age;
(c) the number of qualifying fee-paid days in any office in relation to which benefits are to be calculated under the post-1995 provisions which M proposes to work each year to the period ending with the date on which M reaches M's assumed retirement age; and
(d) the number of units of added surviving adult's pension which M intends to purchase.
(2) The maximum number of units which an unretired member may purchase in the JASAPS is the amount which the administrators determine would produce a pension equal to a sum calculated in accordance with the formula—
A × ( Y + Z ) 45where—
aA is—
(i)where M held a single judicial office on the assumed contribution date, the salary which would have been M's appropriate annual salary if M had retired on that date;
(ii)where M held more than one judicial office on the assumed contribution date, the salary which would have the highest appropriate salary of these offices if M had retired on that date; and
bY is M's reckonable service in any office in relation to which benefits are to be calculated under the post-1995 provisions between the date on which M first held eligible fee-paid judicial office and the date on which M reaches M’s assumed retirement age as if the principal scheme had not closed to further accruals (assuming that M works the number of qualifying fee-paid days notified under paragraph (1)(c)) expressed in years and fractions of a year to four decimal places;
cZ is—
(i)if M is purchasing added years, the number of added years which M would have purchased by the date on which M reaches M's assumed retirement age, or
(ii)if M is not purchasing added years, nil.
