EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations substitute a new table in the Schedule to the Judicial Pensions (Miscellaneous) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/632), revising the actuarial factors used to calculate a pension on early retirement. These Regulations will result in judicial office holders receiving a slightly higher pension on early retirement.

An impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no impact on the costs of business or the voluntary sector is foreseen.
