Explanatory note

This Order provides that any period during which an election made by a member of a judicial pension scheme under the Judicial Pensions (Personal Pension Option) Regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/1417) is in force, shall not count as relevant service in connection with the preservation of benefits under the Judicial Pensions (Preservation of Benefits) Order 1988 (S.I. 1988/1418). A member may elect under those Regulations to have a personal pension instead of acquiring pension rights under the Judicial Pensions Act 1981.
