Paragraph 148

This paragraph applies if as a result of a declaration by the Court another union is (or other unions are) recognised as entitled to conduct collective bargaining on behalf of a group of workers at least one of whom falls within the bargaining unit.

The Court must issue a declaration that the bargaining arrangements are to cease to have effect on a date specified by the Court in the declaration.

If a declaration is issued under sub-paragraph (2) the bargaining arrangements shall cease to have effect accordingly.

It is for the Court to decide whether sub-paragraph (1) is fulfilled, but in deciding the Court may take account of the views of any person it believes has an interest in the matter.
