EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order.)
This Order appoints 1st December 2002 as the date upon which the revised Code of Practice on Redundancy Consultation and Procedures ("the Code") issued by the Labour Relations Agency under Article 90 of the Industrial Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 and approved by Resolution of the Assembly on 14th October 2002, shall come into effect.
Under Article 90(16) of that Order the Code can be admitted in evidence in any proceedings before an industrial tribunal or the Industrial Court and although failure on the part of any person to observe any provision of it shall not of itself render him liable to any proceedings, if any provision of it appears to the tribunal or Court to be relevant to any question arising in the proceedings it shall be taken into account in determining that question.
The Code is a revision of the Code of Practice on Redundancy Consultation and Procedures issued by the Agency on 9th September 1998 and having effect by virtue of the Code of Practice (Redundancy Consultation and Procedures) (Appointed Day) Order (Northern Ireland) 1998. That Code of Practice continues to have effect in relation to proceedings before an industrial tribunal or the Industrial Court immediately before 1st December 2002.
