Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) Act 1998 s.1


NOTES

Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) Act 1998 s.1 is entitled "Industrial Tribunals to be known as Employment Tribunals".


Industrial Tribunals were renamed "EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS", with effect from 1st August 1998 (see Acts of Parliament etc/Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) Act 1998/Commencement dates ).

The idea is to "reflect the Tribunals' modern role in dealing with employment rights disputes rather than their original purpose of considering appeals by employers against levies imposed under the Industrial Training Act".

At the same time, the Industrial Tribunals Act 1996 had its name changed to the "Employment Tribunals Act 1996" (ERDRA 1998 s.1(2)).

For notes on the origins of Employment Tribunals see Employment tribunals/constitution and history of .
