### sec.87 LRT deputy president
This section applies if a person (the relevant person ) holding appointment under the LRT Act, section 7 as a deputy president of the LRT—
resigns the person’s office as deputy president (the resignation ); and
at or about the same time as the resignation takes effect, is appointed as a member of the Land Court (the new appointment ).
From the new appointment, and while the relevant person holds the appointment, the salary, allowances and rates of allowances payable to the relevant person cease to be those payable to a District Court judge and become those payable to a member of the Land Court.
The State has no liability of any kind to compensate the relevant person in any way because of the resignation and new appointment, and in particular because of any reduced salary, allowances and rates of allowances payable to the person after the new appointment.
The relevant person retains all entitlements accrued but not received by the person while the person was a deputy president of the LRT, and for calculating any amount payable to the person in relation to an entitlement accrued but not received, the applicable salary and allowances of the person are taken to be the salary and allowances of a District Court judge in force when the amount comes to be calculated.
Subsection (6) applies if, after the new appointment, the relevant person continues uninterruptedly as a member of the Land Court until the person—
retires after the prescribed day; or
retires or is removed from office as mentioned in the Judges Pensions Act , section 5 (1) ; or
earlier dies.
The Judges Pensions Act , to the extent that Act provides for the payment of any pension, including for example the payment of a pension to a spouse or child, is taken to apply in relation to the relevant person as if the person—
had been a District Court judge from when the person was appointed a deputy president of the LRT until the person’s retirement or death as mentioned in subsection (5) (the relevant period ); and
had been entitled to the salary, as defined under that Act, of a District Court judge as applying from time to time in the relevant period.
In this section—
prescribed day , in relation to the relevant person, means the first day on which the relevant person would become eligible to receive a pension under the Judges Pensions Act , section 4 , if the relevant person retired from office (otherwise than because of permanent disability or infirmity as specified in section 5 of that Act) on that day.
