(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends section 9(2)(a) of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996, which provides a power to make regulations authorising employment tribunals to order the payment of a deposit if a party wishes to continue to participate in proceedings. The amendment contained in this Order substitutes the maximum sum of the deposit that may be specified in such regulations, replacing £500 with £1,000.
1996 c. 17; 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".
Section 9(2)(a) was amended by the Employment Tribunals (Increase of Maximum Deposit) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/237).
