# The Local Government Reorganisation (Transitional Provisions) Order 1985, Article 6: Local valuation panels


(1) This article applies to any contract of employment between a person (“the employee”) appointed by a local valuation panel under section 92 of the General Rate Act 1967 and any such panel (“the old panel”) which is replaced by a panel constituted under a scheme (“the new scheme”) made in respect of the same area pursuant to a direction given by the Secretary of State under section 14(2) of the Act.
(2) A contract to which this article applies shall not be terminated by the revocation of the scheme constituting the old panel, but shall have effect from the date of such revocation as if originally made between the employee and the panel constituted by the new scheme (“the new panel”).
(3) Without prejudice to paragraph (2)—
(a) all the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of the old panel under or in connection with a contract to which this article applies shall by virtue of this article be transferred on the date of revocation to the new panel; and
(b) anything done before that date by or in relation to the old panel in respect of that contract or the employee shall be deemed from that date to have been done by or in relation to the new panel.
(4) Paragraphs (2) and (3) are without prejudice to any right of an employee to terminate his contract of employment if a substantial change is made to his detriment in his working conditions, but no such right shall arise by reason only of the change of employer effected by this article.
