Consultation on a reformed judicial pension scheme
Seeking views on proposals to reform judicial pension arrangements.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
In 2018, the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) published its Major Review of the Judicial Salary Structure which highlighted serious recruitment and retention problems within the judiciary. It concluded that pension-related changes were the main cause of these issues.
Responding to the SSRB’s review in June 2019, the Government made a commitment to develop a pensions-based solution for the whole judiciary, which would aim to address in the long-term the recruitment and retention problems identified by the SSRB.
This consultation sets out our proposals for delivering on this commitment.
