TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
This Order sets out a revised scheme, submitted to the Secretary of State by ACAS pursuant to section 212A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, providing for arbitrations in the case of disputes involving proceedings, or claims which could be the subject of proceedings, before an employment tribunal, arising out of a contravention or alleged contravention of Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (unfair dismissal). The Order revokes and replaces a previous Order which extended to England and Wales only (the “ACAS Arbitration Scheme (England and Wales) Order 2001”). This Order extends to Great Britain. The Order provides for the revised Scheme to come into effect on 6th April 2004. The revised Scheme will provide from that date a voluntary alternative to the employment tribunal for the resolution of unfair dismissal disputes by arbitration where both parties agree. The Order contains a transitional provision under which arbitration agreements signed before 6th April 2004 will continue to be determined under the Scheme set out in the 2001 Order.

Awards of compensation7
An award of a basic amount shall be treated as a basic award of compensation for unfair dismissal for the purposes of section 184(1)(d) of the 1996 Act6 (which specifies such an award as a debt which the Secretary of State must satisfy if the employer has become insolvent).
