  "long_title": "This Order amends Schedule 5 to the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 by adding the office of General Commissioner to the list of judicial offices in respect of which there is a maximum retirement age of 70 years. The new retirement age of 70 years provided for in the Order is to apply to persons appointed as General Commissioner for divisions in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on or after 1st January 1996. Article 5 disapplies section 26(4) to (6) of the 1993 Act, by which the Lord Chancellor, or the Secretary of State for Scotland, as appropriate, might have authorised their continuation in office beyond that retirement age until the age of 75.",
