Article 10 Relationship to other benefits

(1)

Any benefits granted by virtue of this Order in respect of any relevant service of an office holder shall be payable even though other benefits are payable, to or in respect of him, otherwise than by virtue of this Order—

(a)

under a relevant enactment, or

(b)

under an enactment relating to superannuation benefits in respect of an office listed or treated by virtue of any enactment as listed in Schedule 1 to the Act of 1950,

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 office in respect of which such other benefits are payable.

(2)

Where the other benefits, for the purpose of paragraph (1), are payable to or in respect of an office holder by virtue of service of his in more than one judicial office, the amount for the purposes of that paragraph may be arrived at in the manner most favourable to him.
