CS 8: Exclusion of withdrawal when member ends employment: lock-in rule
or “Old rule about taking money from savings when leaving a job no longer applies”
You could also call this:

“This rule about leaving your job and getting money from a special savings account no longer applies”

This section of the law used to talk about what happens when you leave your job and have money in a special type of savings account called a defined benefit fund. However, this part of the law doesn’t apply anymore. It was removed on 1 April 2011, which means it’s no longer in effect. If you want to know what rules apply now, you might need to look at other parts of the law that are still active.
