If a person is a contributor within the meaning of the Superannuation and Family Benefits Act 1938 1, at the time he is appointed a District Court judge, he may continue to be such a contributor notwithstanding his appointment as a District Court judge.
While a person to whom subsection (1) applies, continues to be a contributor under the Superannuation and Family Benefits Act 1938 1, that Act applies to the person; and if he ceases to be a contributor —
on or after he attains the age of 60 years but before he attains the age of 65 years he shall be deemed to have elected to retire; or
on attaining 65 years he shall be deemed to have retired,
under that Act on the day he so ceases to be a contributor and a pension is payable to, and in relation to, him without affecting any pension that may be payable to, and in relation to him, under the Judges’ Salaries and Pensions Act 1950, but the pension otherwise payable under that Act to and in relation to him, shall be reduced in accordance with the provisions of that Act by the amount of the State share of the first mentioned pension paid to and in relation to him.
