EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
    These Regulations amend the Pensions Increase (Judicial Pensions) Regulation 1972 ("the 1972 Regulations"), as amended in particular by the Pensions Increase (Judicial Pensions) (Amendment) Regulations 1978, and the Pensions Increase (Judicial Pensions) (Amendment) Regulations 1991 ("the 1991 Regulations"). Regulation 7(3) of the 1972 Regulations provided, before its effect was amended by the 1991 Regulations, that, for the purposes of the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971, in calculating the increase in a pension to which the Regulation applied, it was deemed that the pension had begun on the date when the pension payable to a person resigning the office of Lord Chancellor was last increased. The 1991 Regulations amended the effect of regulation 7(3) so that it did not apply to the calculation of any increase in a pension payable to or in respect of a person who ceases to hold the office of Lord Chancellor on or after 12 April 1991, except in the case of the person who held the office of Lord Chancellor on 28 February 1991. The amendment in regulation 2 of these Regulations makes it clear that in so far as regulation 7(3) of the 1972 Regulations still applies, it applies either to a pension payable under section 3 of the Lord Chancellor's Pension Act 1832 or to a pension payable under Part IIof the Judicial Pensions Act 1981 for a widow or children of a deceased Lord Chancellor.
