Section 7: Enforcement of sums payable

35.Section 7 amends Article 17(1) of the Industrial Tribunals Order, removing the requirement to seek a county court order for enforcement purposes. The amendment ensures that awards made by an industrial tribunal are enforceable by individuals in the same way as a county court order.
