SUPERANNUATION ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1967 - LONG TITLE



An Act to consolidate the Superannuation Acts (Northern Ireland) 1921 to 1966,
the enactments thereby applied to the civil service of Northern Ireland and
certain other enactments relating to the superannuation of civil servants and
other persons employed in the civil service of Northern Ireland. [28th
November 1967] PART I xtf1lf80f5 (2) Rules under this section may in
particular in relation to such persons

(a)modify [any] enactments which are for the time being in force and under
which pensions are payable in respect of employment in a public office;

(b)apply the provisions of [the civil service scheme, with or without
modifications, in substitution for any] enactments, notwithstanding that [that
scheme] is not otherwise applicable in relation to any of those
public offices;

(c)make provisions as to the manner in which any pensions are to be defrayed,
and in particular make provision for the payment of a transfer value by one
pension authority to another, including the payment of a transfer value out of
the Exchequer;

(d)define the kinds of public offices which are to be treated for the purposes
of the rules as different public offices.

(3) Subject to subsection (4), rules under this section may provide either for
separate pensions under the respective enactments relating to the different
employments or for a single pension under the enactments relating to the later
or latest employment (or by virtue of subsection (2)(b) under [the
civil service scheme]) or employ partly the one method and partly the other.

(4) If the rules under this section provide for separate pensions in relation
to different public offices the rules shall not modify [the civil service
scheme] or any other enactments so as to include as reckonable service in
computing one of the separate pensions service in a public office in respect
of which another of those separate pensions is payable.

(5) Rules under this section may be so framed as to apply to persons ceasing
to be employed in one public office and becoming employed in another
notwithstanding that the cessation of the first employment or the commencement
of the second employment was before the date of the making of the rules but no
rules shall be framed so as to apply when the cessation of the first
employment took place before the making of the rules unless the rules are to
apply only with the consent of the person ceasing to be employed, or that
person is by the rules given an opportunity to elect that they shall not apply
to him.

(6) If the application of the rules in force under this section would put a
particular individual in a position less advantageous than that in which he
would have been if the rules did not apply in relation to him, they shall not
be so applied.

[(6A) References in this section to enactments shall be construed as including
references to the civil service scheme, and in this section "the civil service
scheme" means the principal civil service pension scheme within the meaning of
Article 4 of the Superannuation (Northern Ireland) Order 1972 and for the time
being in force.]

(7) In this section "pension", in relation to any person, means a pension of
any kind whatsoever payable to or in respect of him, and includes a lump sum
or gratuity so payable.
