Redundancy Payments (Continuity of Employment in Local Government, etc.) (Modification) Order (Northern Ireland) 1999

Transitional, supplementary and incidental provision

5.—(1) In relation to a person to whom this Order applies—

(a) any reference to the 1996 Order in any statutory provision shall have effect as a reference to that Order as modified by this Order; and

(b) any document which refers, whether specifically or by means of a general description, to the 1996 Order shall, except so far as the context otherwise requires, be construed as referring to that Order as modified by this Order.

(2) Where a period of employment of a person to whom this Order applies falls to be computed in accordance with the provisions of the 1996 Order as modified by this Order, the provisions of this Order shall have effect in relation to that calculation whether the period in question falls wholly or partly before or wholly after this Order comes into operation.

(3) Notwithstanding the revocation by Article 4 of the Orders specified in Schedule 3, in relation to determining any person’s entitlement to a redundancy payment following an event which occurred before the date on which this Order comes into operation and which would have been a relevant event if it had occurred on or after the date, the 1986 Order shall continue to have effect as it had effect on the date of that event.
