Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

This Regulation shall apply where a special constable dies or has died as the result of an injury received without his own default in the execution of his duty as a special constable and, in such case, shall apply—

(a)

to a parent or (without prejudice to the following sub-paragraph) to a brother or sister of the constable who had attained the age of 19 years before the constable's death, or

(b)

subject to his having attained the age of 19 years to any child of the constable, whether or not he had attained that age before the constable's death,

being a person who was substantially dependent on the constable immediately before his death (hereinafter referred to as a dependent relative).

(2)

A dependent relative to whom this Regulation applies may be granted a special pension if the police authority, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, in their discretion so determine, and Regulation 36 of the principal Regulations and Part XIII thereof shall apply as if the special constable had been an auxiliary policeman at the time that he received the injury.
