# The Tribunals and Inquiries (Friendly Societies) Order 1993, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends and adapts the Tribunals and Inquiries Act 1992 in relation to a tribunal constituted under section 59 and an adjudicator appointed under section 84 of the Friendly Societies Act 1992. The result is that—
(a) they are brought under the supervision of the Council on Tribunals;
(b) consultation is required with the Council on Tribunals before procedural rules or regulations under section 60 of the Friendly Societies Act 1992 (regulations with respect to appeals under section 58 of that Act) are made;
(c) where such regulations are made by the Lord Advocate, the Council must consult the Scottish Committee of the Council.
The Order makes the changes that were intended to be made by paragraphs 12 to 16 of Schedule 2 to the Friendly Societies Act 1992. However, as the Friendly Societies Act 1992 was passed before the Tribunal and Inquiries Act 1992 these provisions proved ineffective and have never been brought into force.
The Order does not extend to Northern Ireland.
