Local Court Act 2007

This clause applies to the Chief Judge if the Chief Judge—

is appointed as a Judge of the District Court at the same time as being appointed as the Chief Judge or while he or she holds office as the Chief Judge, and

is a contributor to a State public sector superannuation scheme immediately before being appointed as a Judge of the District Court.

When this clause applies to the Chief Judge, the Chief Judge—

ceases on his or her appointment as a Judge of the District Court to be an employee who is entitled to be a contributor under the State public sector superannuation scheme concerned, and

is taken on that appointment to have preserved his or her superannuation benefits under the scheme in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions governing the scheme.

This clause does not—

prevent the Chief Judge from contributing to the FSS Fund in a capacity other than as an employee within the meaning of the First State Superannuation Act 1992 if he or she is permitted to do so by the trust deed under which the Fund is maintained and administered, or

otherwise affect the provisions of any other Act or regulation relating to the rights of contributors under superannuation schemes.

In this clause—

a STC scheme within the meaning of the Superannuation Administration Act 1996,

the FSS Fund,

any other scheme or fund prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this clause.
