EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order.)
Under Schedule 1A to the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1995, where the Industrial Court arranges a ballot on the recognition or derecognition of a trade union for collective bargaining, it must appoint a "qualified independent person" to conduct the ballot.
The Recognition and Derecognition Ballots (Qualified Persons) Order (Northern Ireland) 2001 ("the 2001 Order") specifies conditions which must be satisfied in order for an individual or partnership to be a qualified person. It also specifies certain persons by name as qualified persons.
This Order amends the 2001 Order by replacing the list of bodies specified by name as being qualified for appointment.
The Order comes into operation on 16th January 2005.
