(2) Any established officer or servant of the second class who has been in the service of an asylum for not less than twenty years and is not less than sixty years old, or who is permanently incapacitated for asylum duties after ten years’ service by injury or illness, mental or bodily, medically certified and not attributable to his own misconduct, shall be entitled, on resigning or otherwise ceasing to hold office or employment, to receive during life a superannuation allowance the annual amount of which shall be computed at the rate of one sixtieth of his salary or wages and emoluments for each completed year of service:
|
|

(3) The visiting committee of any asylum may, in computing the amount of superannuation allowance to any established officer or servant, take into account any peculiar professional qualifications or services or special circumstances entitling to consideration and, with the consent of the Secretary of State, add a number of years not exceeding ten to the number of years which the officer or servant has actually served in the aggregate:
|
|
| |
(4) Where an established officer or servant of an asylum is injured—
|
|
| |
(a) in the actual discharge of his duty; and
|
|
| |
(b) without his own default; and
|
|
| |
(c) by some injury specifically attributable to the nature of his duty;
|
|
| |
and is permanently incapacitated for asylum duties as the result of such injury, the visiting committee of such asylum may grant to him such gratuity or special superannuation allowance as they may consider reasonable:
|
|
| |
Provided that a superannuation allowance shall not in any case exceed two-thirds of the salary or wages and emoluments of the superannuated person, and a gratuity granted under this section shall not exceed one year's salary or wages and emoluments of the person to whom it is granted.
