This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)An individual who is or has been a member of a trade union has the right not to be unjustifiably disciplined by the union.
(2)For this purpose an individual is “disciplined” by a trade union if a determination is made, or purportedly made, under the rules of the union or by an official of the union or a number of persons including an official that—
(a)he should be expelled from the union or a branch or section of the union,
(b)he should pay a sum to the union, to a branch or section of the union or to any other person;
(c)sums tendered by him in respect of an obligation to pay subscriptions or other sums to the union, or to a branch or section of the union, should be treated as unpaid or paid for a different purpose,
(d)he should be deprived to any extent of, or of access to, any benefits, services or facilities which would otherwise be provided or made available to him by virtue of his membership of the union, or a branch or section of the union,
(e)another trade union, or a branch or section of it, should be encouraged or advised not to accept him as a member, or
(f)he should be subjected to some other detriment;
and whether an individual is “unjustifiably disciplined” shall be determined in accordance with section 65.
(3)Where a determination made in infringement of an individual’s right under this section requires the payment of a sum or the performance of an obligation, no person is entitled in any proceedings to rely on that determination for the purpose of recovering the sum or enforcing the obligation.
(4)Subject to that, the remedies for infringement of the right conferred by this section are as provided by sections 66 and 67, and not otherwise.
(5)The right not to be unjustifiably disciplined is in addition to (and not in substitution for) any right which exists apart from this section; and nothing in this section or sections 65 to 67 affects any remedy for infringement of any such right.
