# The Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) (Amendment) Regulations 2014, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W+S

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 (“the 2013 Regulations”).
These Regulations insert the provisions necessary to ensure that a claim is rejected where the requirement in section 18A of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 to contact ACAS before instituting proceedings applies to a claimant and the claimant does not have the certificate necessary under subsection (8) of that section.
These Regulations amend the 2013 Regulations to reflect the introduction of the financial penalties regime (under section 12A of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996) and the abolition of the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council.
A regulatory impact assessment on the introduction of early conciliation is available and a copy can be obtained from the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, Labour Market Directorate, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H OET. Copies have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
