(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 makes two amendments to the 2001 Order. The list at Article 4 of the 2001 Order of persons specified by name as being qualified for appointment has been replaced. That list was previously replaced in January 2005 by the Recognition and Derecognition Ballots (Qualified Persons) (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 2004 which is now revoked by this Order.
The conditions at Article 2, which an individual must satisfy in order to be eligible for appointment, have been updated by replacing a reference to the now repealed Article 28 of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1990 with a reference to Part 42 of the Companies Act 2006.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this statutory rule as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
