(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Recognition and Derecognition Ballots (Qualified Persons) Order 2000.
Under Schedule A1 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, where the Central Arbitration Committee arranges a ballot on the recognition or derecognition of a trade union for collective bargaining, it must appoint a “qualified independent person” to conduct the ballot.
The Recognition and Derecognition Ballots (Qualified Persons) Order 2000 specifies conditions which must be satisfied in order for an individual or a partnership to qualify for appointment as a scrutineer. It also specifies certain bodies by name as being qualified.
This Order amends the 2000 Order by replacing the list of bodies specified by name as being qualified. That list was previously amended in October 2002 by the Recognition and Derecognition (Qualified Persons) Order 2000 (Amendment) Order 2002 and in April 2010 by the Recognition and Derecognition (Qualified Persons) (Amendment) Order 2010.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
