Statutory Instruments

Date in Force

 

The Police and Firefighters’ Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 2018 S.I. No. 997

The Regulations make amendments to various instruments relating to pensions payable in respect of police officers, including the removal of the requirement for a deceased member and the surviving partner of that member to have completed a nomination form before a survivor’s pension can be paid. This requirement was held by the Supreme Court to constitute unjustified discrimination giving rise to a breach of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Regulations apply to the Common Council in its capacity as a police authority.
