Article summary

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has published a response document and equality statement to its consultation on proposals for addressing the age discrimination identified in McCloud in respect of judiciary pensions. The response confirms that the MoJ will, subject to parliamentary time and approval of relevant legislation, run an options exercise in 2022 in scope of McCloud. This will allow eligible judges to retrospectively choose whether to have accrued benefits in the 2015 pension scheme or the legacy scheme from 1 April 2015. Membership of those chosen schemes will end when the reformed judicial pension scheme comes into effect, and all judges will join the new pension scheme.
