PART VUnfair Dismissal
Exclusion of section 54
66Revocation of exclusion order under s. 65
1
At any time when an order under section 65 is in force, any of the parties to the dismissal procedures agreement to which the order relates may apply to the Secretary of State for the order to be revoked.
2
If on any such application the Secretary of State is satisfied either—
a
that it is the desire of all the parties to the dismissal procedures agreement that the order should be revoked or
b
that the agreement has ceased to fulfil all the conditions specified in section 65(2),
the Secretary of State shall revoke the order by a further order made under this section.
3
Any order made under this section may contain such transitional provisions as appear to the Secretary of State to be appropriate in the circumstances, and, in particular, may direct—
a
that, notwithstanding section 65(3), an employee shall not be excluded from his rights under section 54 where the effective date of termination falls within a transitional period which is specified in the order and is a period ending with the date on which the order under this section takes effect and shall have an extended time for presenting a complaint under section 67 in respect of a dismissal where the effective date of termination falls within that period, and
b
that in determining any complaint of unfair dismissal presented by an employee to whom the dismissal procedures agreement applies, where the effective date of termination falls within that transitional period, an industrial tribunal shall have regard to such considerations (in addition to those specified in this Part and paragraph 2 of Schedule 9) as may be specified in the order.
