# Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, Section 70ZK: Enforcement of access agreements: supplementary provision


(1) An access agreement—
(a) is enforceable only by means of a complaint under section 70ZH or 70ZI, and not by any other means;
(b) in particular, is to be conclusively presumed not to have been intended by the parties to be a legally enforceable contract.
(2) Accordingly, where an access agreement is, or is part of, a collective agreement, section 179(2) and (3)(a) do not apply to the access agreement.
(3) A complaint under section 70ZH or 70ZI must be in writing and in such form as the Central Arbitration Committee may require.
(4) In its consideration of a complaint under section 70ZH or 70ZI, the Central Arbitration Committee—
(a) may make such enquiries as it sees fit;
(b) may make reasonable requests to provide information or documents relevant to the complaint;
(c) so far as reasonably practicable, must give any person who it considers has a proper interest in the complaint an opportunity to be heard.
(5) The Central Arbitration Committee may draw an adverse inference from a person’s failure to comply with any reasonable request to provide information or documents relevant to a complaint under section 70ZH or 70ZI.
