(b) as a result of any immediate detriment remedy that has been obtained in relation to that service, were not payments that P was required to make under the 2015 scheme.
(2) The purported contributions are to be treated for all purposes—

(3) Paragraph (4) applies where P has made any payments purporting to be pension contributions under the 2015 scheme (“the purported contributions”) which—
(a) are calculated by reference to P’s remediable service in a fee-paid judicial office, and
(b) as a result of any immediate detriment remedy that has been obtained in relation to that service, were not payments that P was required to make under the 2015 scheme.
(4) The purported contributions are to be treated for all purposes—
(a) as not having been paid by P to the 2015 scheme, but
(b) as having been paid by P instead to the judicial legacy fee-paid scheme.
(5) Where, as a result of any immediate detriment remedy that has been obtained (and after taking into account the effect of paragraphs (2) and (4))—
(a) a judicial legacy scheme owes a person an amount in respect of pension contributions which are calculated by reference to P’s remediable service, or
(b) a person owes a judicial legacy scheme an amount in respect of such contributions,
such amount must be paid only in accordance with regulation 22.
