# The Race Relations (Interest on Awards) (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 2007, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Race Relations (Interest on Awards) Order (Northern Ireland) 1997 (“the 1997 Order”). The amendments are technical in nature. They concern interest on awards that may be made by industrial tribunals.
Article 2(1) makes it clear that an award on which interest is calculated in racial discrimination cases does not include an award in respect of costs, allowances or preparation time under the rules of procedure governing industrial tribunals.
Article 2(2) amends the 1997 Order to reflect industrial tribunals’ power to deal with complaints of harassment as well as of discrimination.
