  "text": "Part IV of the Schedule to the Justices of the Peace Act, 1949 (Compensation) Regulations, 1954, provides for the compensation of a whole-time clerk of the peace, justices' clerk or assistant of the holder of such an office who suffers a diminution of emoluments in the circumstances set out in Regulation 4 of those Regulations and for the review from time to time of such compensation. The amount of the compensation is within prescribed limits discretionary.\nSub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 23 of the Schedule to the 1954 Regulations specifies the maximum permissible compensation for diminution of emoluments in terms of a proportion of the maximum compensation which would have been payable under Parts II and III of that Schedule had the officer lost his office. The present Regulations, which correct a drafting error, provide that the relevant proportion is the proportion which the diminution of the officer's emoluments bears to his emoluments before diminution.",
