Explanatory note

These Rules amend the Employment Appeal Tribunal Rules 1980, as amended by the Employment Appeal Tribunal (Amendment) Rules 1985, principally to make provision for the instituting of, and the entering of appearances to, applications for awards of compensation and orders under section 5 of the Employment Act 1988 (remedies for infringement of the right not to be unjustifiably disciplined) and for the registration and proof of any such awards and orders. The Rules also increase from three to five days the time allowed for giving notice of an interlocutory appeal from a decision of the Registrar, prescribe an amended version of Form 1 (Notice of appeal from decision of Industrial Tribunal) and make two minor corrections to the 1980 Rules.
