  • (5) Where the liability of the liable person under the capital sum order has been discharged in whole or in part, other than by a payment by the person responsible for the pension arrangement under an order under subsection (2) or (3) above, the court may, on an application by any person having an interest, recall any order under either of those subsections or vary the amount specified in such an order, as appears to the court appropriate in the circumstances.
  • (6) Where—
  • (a) an order under subsection (2) or (3) above imposes any requirement on the person responsible for a pension arrangement (“the first arrangement”) and the liable person acquires transfer credits under another arrangement (“the new arrangement”) which are derived (directly or indirectly) from a transfer from the first arrangement of all his accrued rights under that ; and
  • (b) the person responsible for the new arrangement has been given notice in accordance with regulations under subsection (8) below,

the order shall have effect as if it had been made instead in respect of the person responsible for the new arrangement; and in this subsection “transfer credits” has the same meaning as in the Pension Schemes Act 1993.

  • (7) Without prejudice to subsection (6) above, the court may, on an application by any person having an interest, vary an order under subsection (2) or (3) above by substituting for the person responsible for the pension arrangement specified in the order the person responsible for any other pension arrangement under which any lump sum referred to in subsection (1) above is payable to the liable person or in respect of his death.
  • (7ZA) Subsection (7ZB) applies where a right under an occupational pension scheme to payment of a lump sum in respect of death would, but for the provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of the Pensions Act 2004 (c. 35), arise during an assessment period (within the meaning of section 132 of that Act).
  • (7ZB) An order under subsection (3) shall not take effect until the assessment period comes to an end for a reason other than the giving of a transfer notice under section 160 of that Act.
  • (7ZC) For the purpose only of giving effect to subsection (7), the court may deal with an order under subsection (2) so that it–
  • (a) is addressed to the Board of the Pension Protection Fund instead of the person responsible for a pension arrangement; and
  • (b) takes effect in respect of an entitlement to compensation payable under Chapter 3 of Part 2 of the Pensions Act 2004 or the Northern Ireland provision, instead of rights in relation to any lump sum referred to in subsection (1) which is payable to the liable party.
  • (7A) Where—
  • (a) the court makes an order under subsection (3); and
  • (b) after the making of the order the Board gives the trustees or managers of the scheme a notice under section 160 of the Pensions Act 2004 (c. 35) (“the 2004 Act”), or the Northern Ireland provision, in relation to the scheme,

the order shall, on the giving of such notice, be recalled.

  • (7B) Subsection (7C) applies where—
  • (a) the court makes an order under subsection (2) imposing requirements on the trustees or managers of an occupational pension scheme; and
  • (b) after the making of the order the Board gives the trustees or managers of the scheme a notice under section 160 of the 2004 Act, or the Northern Ireland provision, in relation to the scheme.
  • (7C) The order shall have effect from the time when the notice is given—
  • (a) as if—
  • (i) references to the trustees or managers of the scheme were references to the Board; and
  • (ii) references to any lump sum to which the person with benefits under a pension arrangement is or might become entitled under the scheme were references to the amount of any compensation payable under that Chapter of the 2004 Act, or the Northern Ireland provision, to which that person is or might become entitled in respect of the lump sum; and
  • (b) subject to such other modifications as may be prescribed by regulations by the Scottish Ministers.
  • (8) The Secretary of State may by regulations—
  • (a) require notices to be given in respect of changes of circumstances relevant to orders under subsection (2) or (3) above;
  • (b) make provision for the recovery of the administrative expenses of complying with such orders from the liable person or the other person .
  • (9) Regulations under subsections (7C)(b) and (8) above shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
  • (10) The definition of “benefits under a pension scheme” in section 27 of this Act does not apply to this section.
  • (11) In subsections (7ZC) to (7C) “the Northern Ireland provision”, in relation to a provision of the 2004 Act, means any provision in force in Northern Ireland corresponding to the provision of that Act.
