Explanatory note

This Order modifies the provisions of the Pensions Appeals Tribunals Act 1943 (“the Act”) and so makes provision for appeals to a Pensions Appeal Tribunal or, as the case may be, the High Court, or in Scotland the Court of Session, or in Northern Ireland the Court of Appeal, to be brought or continued under the provisions of the Act after the death of a claimant.

The Order also (in article 8) makes provision for the modification of the restrictions in relation to the Secretary of State's powers to pay awards following decisions in the above mentioned appeals.
