Details
The Ministry of Justice’s (MOJ) update to the Employment Tribunal confirms to all affected fee paid judicial office holders the MOJ approach to claims for pre 7 April 2000 service. In our most recent update, on 30 August, we confirmed our intention of making interim payments in lieu of pension to eligible retired claimants, for their pre 7 April 2000 service, pending provision of a statutory remedy which is our preferred long-term solution. The work required to make these interim payments is progressing well, with MOJ’s Judicial Claims Teams and our third-party pensions’ administrators working together closely to put in place a robust process. We expect to begin making payments before the end of the calendar year.
