(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Employment Tribunals (Interest on Awards in Discrimination Cases) Regulations 1996.
These regulations amend the legislative reference on interest in England and Wales, so that the rate is the same as that in Scotland (currently 8%), and also correct the reference to Scottish legislation on interest. These regulations also make a consequential repeal of regulation 8 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 following its amendment by the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order (Amendment) Order 2013.
S.I. 1996/2803; by virtue of section 1 of the Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) Act 1998 (c. 8) industrial tribunals were renamed employment tribunals and references to "industrial tribunal" and "industrial tribunals" in any enactment were substituted with "employment tribunal" and "employment tribunals".
1838 c. 110. Section 17 was amended by S.I. 1993/564.
1892 c. 17. Section 9 was amended by S.I. 1993/769.
