  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order makes two amendments to the Recognition and Derecognition Ballots (Qualified Persons) Order 2000. The list at Article 4 of the 2000 Order of bodies specified by name as being qualified for appointment has been replaced. That list was previously replaced in October 2002 by the Recognition and Derecognition Ballots (Qualified Persons) Order 2000 (Amendment) Order 2002.\nThe conditions at Article 2, which an individual must satisfy in order to be eligible for appointment, have been updated by replacing a reference to the now repealed section 25 of the Companies Act 1989 with a reference to Part 42 of the Companies Act 2006.\nUnder Schedule A1 to the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, where the Central Arbitration Committee arranges a ballot on the recognition or derecognition of a trade union for collective bargaining, it must appoint a “qualified independent person” to conduct the ballot.\nThe 2000 Order specifies conditions which must be satisfied in order for an individual or partnership to qualify for appointment as a scrutineer. It also specifies certain bodies by name as being qualified.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
