Commentary on Sections

Part 11: EMPLOYMENT

Employment tribunals: Postponements

Section 151: Employment tribunal procedure regulations: postponements

835.This section amends sections 7 (employment tribunal procedure regulations), 13 (costs and expenses) and 13A (payments in respect of preparation time) of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 (‘the 1996 Act’) to insert powers to make rules on the determination of applications for postponement, and on the possible cost implications of postponements being granted.

836.Subsection (2) inserts a new provision into section 7 of the 1996 Act to expressly allow Employment Tribunal procedure regulations to include rules limiting the number of postponements that can be granted to a party on their application and provide for the procedure regulations to set out in more detail how the new rule would apply. It further explains that the provision also applies to adjournments.

837.Subsection (3) amends section 13 of the 1996 Act so that Employment Tribunal procedure regulations on costs have to include provisions obliging an Employment Tribunal to consider making a cost order against the successful applicant for a late postponement of an Employment Tribunal hearing.

838.Subsection (4) inserts a similar provision into section 13A of the 1996 Act in respect of time preparation orders.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
