Article 26 Payments in respect of redundancy payments

This article applies in relation to any officer (hereinafter referred to as “the officer”) of an authority abolished by the Act or the Water Act 1973 who is remunerated by periodic payments which take into account the employment of any persons by the officer.

Where in consequence of such abolition a redundancy payment falls to be made by the officer in respect of any person, any local authority or water authority may pay to the officer the amount of such payment or any part thereof.
