Land Court Act 2000

This section applies to a person if—

before the commencement of this section—

the person held appointment under the LRT Act, section 7 as a deputy president of the LRT; and

the person resigned the person’s office as a deputy president (the resignation); and

at or about the same time as the resignation took effect, the person was appointed as a District Court judge (the new appointment); and

on the commencement of this section, the person still held the new appointment.

For the purposes of the application of the Judges Pensions Act to the person, that Act is taken to apply to the person, including to a spouse or child of the person, as if the person had been a District Court judge for the whole of the time from when the person was appointed a deputy president of the LRT until the new appointment.
