# The Superannuation (Judicial Offices) (Aggregation of Service) Rules 1987, Article 5: Payment of benefits


(1) Any benefits payable in consequence of an election made under rule 3 shall be paid by the authority liable for payment of benefits in respect of the office-holder’s final office, whether or not his service in that office is taken into account under rule 4 for the purpose of calculating the benefits so payable.
(2) Where service in an earlier office has been taken into account for the purpose of calculating the benefits so payable, the authority paying the benefits in accordance with paragraph (1) above shall be entitled to recover from any authority liable for payment of benefits in respect of that earlier office a contribution which bears to the total amount of benefits payable the same proportion as the period of the office-holder’s service in the earlier office bears to the total period of service in respect of which benefits are payable.
