Article 10 Relationship to other benefits
Any benefit granted by virtue of this Order in respect of any relevant service shall be payable notwithstanding that other benefits are, otherwise than by virtue of this Order, payable to or in respect of the office-holder
under a relevant enactment; or
under an enactment relating to superannuation benefits in respect of an office to which Part II of the Act of 1981 applies; so, however, that any benefits granted by virtue of this Order shall be abated to the extent that they exceed the amount, if any, by which the other benefits might have been increased if the relevant service in respect of which benefits are granted under this Order had been service in the office in respect of which the other benefits are payable.
Where the other benefits, for the purposes of paragraph (1) above, are payable to or in respect of an office-holder by virtue of service of his in more than one office, the amount referred to in that paragraph may be arrived at in the manner most favourable to him.
