RECR Roo9 27 OFC 09, With reference to the pension granted to
Mr. J. Dyer Ball, Interpreter of the Supreme Court, it struck
me on looking over the pension minute today that a possible
error was made.
506
See end of Clause 12 paragraph 2 of the
minute: it is rather obscure but I take it that Mr. Ball should
have had full allowance for the 8 months half pay leave taken
from 1.4.84 to 30.11.84.
His full service was 33 years 11 months
12 days, and he was away in all 4 years 6 months 19 days. His
full resident service was therefore 29 years 5 months and one-
-sixth thereof would be 4 years 10 months, which is greater than
the above full leave taken.
6
Allowing the 8 months therefore would give 4
montha more service than that allowed in the pension calculation and would bring his service with the 5 years added to 37 years. 37/60 of $4,080 equals $2,516 at 3/8 equals
8461 4
•
8.
This might be sent for revision by the
Seometary of State if desirable but I am almost sure that from
the rules the additional £12. A .8 is due to Mr. Ball.

Treasurer.
