These Regulations apply to the transfer of accrued benefits between non-judicial pension schemes and the schemes constituted by Part I and section 19 of the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 under schedule 2 to that Act. They prescribe the requirements to be satisfied by the non-judicial pension schemes, the limits on payments into and the type of benefits to be provided under the 1993 Act schemes, for the calculation of cash equivalents on a transfer out of those schemes and the calculation of an annual pension and derivative benefits to reflect the transfer payments into those schemes.
