RESIDENT MAGISTRATES' PENSIONS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1960 - SECT 13

Allocation by certain retired resident magistrates of part of their pensions to their wives.

13.(1) The Ministry of Finance may make rules for securing that, in such
circumstances and subject to such conditions as to proof of good health and
other matters as may be specified in the rules, a retired resident magistrate
under the age of seventy who has retired from office (otherwise than on the
ground of ill-health) after the passing of this Act, and who has married since
his retirement shall, subject to sub-section (2), be allowed to surrender, as
from the date of his marriage, in return for the benefits allowed under the
rules such part of his personal pension as may be specified in the rules, and
for enabling that Ministry to grant to his wife a pension of such value as,
according to tables prepared from time to time by that Ministry, is
actuarially equivalent, at that date, to the value of that part of the
personal pension which is surrendered.

(2) The part of a personal pension surrendered by a person under this section,
together with any part thereof surrendered under section twelve, shall not
exceed one-third of that pension.

(3) Sub-sections (2) and (3) of section twelve, so far as they apply to
surrenders made for the benefit of wives and pensions granted to wives, shall
apply also to surrenders under this section and pensions granted by virtue
thereof, but as if any reference to the date of retirement was a reference to
the date of the marriage.

(4) Rules made under this section shall be subject to negative resolution.
