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.
