Constitutional Court rules Jordanian parliament members not entitled to pensions

The Constitutional Court decided in its interpretation No. 2 of the year 2014, that Parliament members are not eligible for pension while keeping the rights they are entitled to, and maintaining their legal status gained under previous laws.
The court also decided the inadmissibility of the retrospect effect of laws with financial implications on the treasury. It also disallowed issuance of laws with retroactive effect unless required by necessity or in public interest.
Last September, the Parliament decided to grant its members lifetime pensions equal to that of ministers, under the draft civil retirement law, after introducing some changes to a previous version in 2012 which was rejected by His Majesty the King.
