EQUAL PAY ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1970 - SECT 4



4.(1) Where a wages regulation order made before or after the commencement of
this Act contains any provision applying specifically to men only or to women
only, the order may be referred by the Department to the Industrial Court to
declare what amendments need to be made in the order, in accordance with the
like rules as apply under section 3(4) to the amendment under that section of
a collective agreement, so as to remove that discrimination between men and
women; and when the Court have declared the amendments needing to be so made,
the Department may by order coming into operation not later than five months
after the date of the Court's decision direct that (subject to any further
wages regulation order) the order referred to the Court shall have effect
subject to those amendments.

(2) A wages regulation order shall be referred to the Industrial Court under
this section if the Department is requested so to refer it either

(a)by a member or members of the wages council concerned with the order who
was or who were appointed as representing employers; or

(b)by a member or members of that wages council who was or who were appointed
as representing workers;

(3) Where by virtue of section 11(1) of the Wages Councils Act (Northern
Ireland) 1945 a contract between a worker and an employer is to have effect
with modifications specified in section 11(1), then (without prejudice to the
general saving in section 10(7) of that Act for rights conferred by or under
other Acts) the contract so modified shall have effect subject to any further
term implied by virtue of section 1.

(4) In this section "wages regulation order" means an order made or having
