231. The average salary of a judge is the average salary of his three best remunerated years of service or, if he has less than three years of service, the average salary of all his years of service.
To determine the average salary, the annual salaries taken into consideration are those of all the years of service of the judge as fixed in the orders made under section 115 up to the annual salary required, for the purposes of subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph of section 230, to arrive at the defined benefit limit applicable for each year under the Income Tax Act (R.S.C 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)). However, the additional remuneration attached to the office of chief judge, senior associate chief judge, associate chief judge, president of the Human Rights Tribunal or chairman of the Professions Tribunal shall be included in those salaries only if the judge has held such an office for at least seven years. The remuneration paid to a coordinating judge, associate coordinating judge or judge responsible for the professional development of judges of the Court and any other remuneration paid to a judge to whom sections 131 to 134 apply shall be excluded from those salaries.
Any lump sump paid as a salary increase or adjustment for a preceding year forms part of the salary for that year.
A judge having held the office of chief judge, senior associate chief judge or associate chief judge for at least seven years is deemed, for the sole purpose of determining the amount of the judge’s pension, to have received, for each of the years taken into consideration, an annual salary at least equivalent to that of a puisne judge.
For the purposes of this section, the salary pertaining to a year of service covered by an agreement granting leave without pay or leave with deferred pay under section 122.0.1 is the salary the judge would have received if the judge had not been a party to such an agreement.
