The Industrial Court (Membership) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2022

These Regulations amend the Industrial Court (Membership) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2011 (the “Membership Regulations”).

Regulation 2 amends regulation 3 of the Membership Regulations by removing a number of the current legislative provisions in relation to members of the Industrial Court (the “Court”) holding and vacating office and replacing those provisions with a reliance on each member’s terms of appointment.

Regulation 3 contains a transitional provision for current members of the Court.
