65.—(1) Where an industrial tribunal finds that a complaint presented to it under Article 63 is well-founded the tribunal shall make such of the following as it considers just and equitable—
(a)an order declaring the rights of the complainant and the respondent in relation to the act to which the complaint relates;
(b)an order requiring the respondent to pay to the complainant compensation of an amount corresponding to any damages he could have been ordered by a county court to pay to the complainant if the complaint had fallen to be dealt with under Article 66;
(c)a recommendation that the respondent take within a specified period action appearing to the tribunal to be practicable for the purpose of obviating or reducing the adverse effect on the complainant of any act of discrimination to which the complaint relates.
[F1(1A) In applying Article 66 for the purposes of paragraphs (1)(b), no account shall be taken of paragraph (3) of that Article.
(1B) As respects an unlawful act of discrimination falling within[F2 Article 3(2)(b)] or Article 5(1)(b), if the respondent proves that the[F2 provision, criterion or practice] in question was not applied with the intention of treating the complainant unfavourably on the ground of his sex[F3 or (as the case may be) fulfilment of the condition in Article 5(2)], an order may be made under paragraph (1)(b) only if the industrial tribunal—
(a)makes such order under paragraph (1)(a) and such recommendation under paragraph (1)(c) (if any) as it would have made if it had no power to make an order under paragraph (1)(b); and
(b)(where it makes an order under paragraph (1)(a) or a recommendation under paragraph (1)(c) or both) considers that it is just and equitable to make an order under paragraph (1)(b) as well.]
Para. (2) rep. by SR 1993/478

(b)if an order under paragraph (1)( b)[F1 was not made], the tribunal may make such an order.
