(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Pensions Increase (Judicial Pensions) Regulations 1972, as amended in particular by the Pensions Increase (Judicial Pensions) (Amendment) Regulations 1978, to remove the provisions that the increases under the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 (the 1971 Act) should not, when added to the basic pension payable to or in respect of a former Lord Chancellor, exceed the pension which would be paid to or in respect of the present Lord Chancellor, should he resign his office. The Regulations also provide that the deemed beginning date of the pension (namely the date of the last increase in the pension which would be payable to the current Lord Chancellor if he ceased to hold office) shall not, except in the case of the holder of the office of Lord Chancellor at 28th February 1991, apply to future Lord Chancellors who cease to hold office after 12th April 1991. The beginning date of the pensions of future Lord Chancellors will be the day following the last day of service in respect of which the pension is payable, in accordance with section 8(2) of the 1971 Act.
