244.9. A judge who has received a refund of the contributions he paid or from which he was exempt for the years 1979 to 1989 and is reappointed to an office to which pensionable service is attached under this plan may, for the purpose of computing his pension, count the service accumulated during those years provided he satisfies the following requirements:(1) he gives Retraite Québec written notice to that effect within the 12 months following the date on which he begins to exercise his new functions;
(2) he remits the amounts that were refunded to him, computed with interest from the date the refund was made.
The judge may pay the amount determined in the first paragraph in a single payment of by equal instalments which may be spread, with interest, over a period determined by agreement between the judge and Retraite Québec, but not exceeding ten years. Any amount remaining unpaid 30 days from the date of mailing by Retraite Québec of a notice to that effect shall also bear interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount required to have such service counted for the purpose of computing the judge’s pension must be paid in full at the time he retires with a pension, failing which he shall lose the right to count such service as pensionable service, and the amounts he has remitted will be refunded to him with interest computed in accordance with the first paragraph of section 244.8.
