The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has published the outcome of a consultation it held into reforming the judicial pension scheme

Lexis®Library update: The majority of responses thought that the proposed reforms would help to address recruitment and retention issues. As a result of concerns that were raised in relation to the proposal to establish a uniform member contribution rate, the MoJ has said it is temporarily giving judges the option of making lesser contributions to the scheme in return for a corresponding reduction in the accrual rate.
