Asylums Officers' Superannuation Act, 1909

Provision for retiring officers and servants in certain cases.

11. When an established officer or servant of the first class has attained the age of fifty-five, or an established officer or servant of the second class has attained the age of sixty, and the visiting committee of the asylum in which he is employed are of opinion that his retirement would be expedient in the interests of the service, it shall be competent for them to require him to retire upon payment to him of the superannuation allowance to which he may be entitled under this Act:

Provided that nothing in this section shall prejudice the existing right of any visiting committee to dismiss any officer or servant employed in an asylum, or to reduce him to a lower rate of pay, or shall prevent his claim to superannuation allowance from being refused in any case where under this Act a claim to superannuation allowance is forfeited.
