(This note is not part of the Order.)
This Order increases, from 10th March 2002, the limits applying to certain awards of industrial tribunals, and other amounts payable under employment legislation, as specified in the Schedule to the Order. The increases reflect the increase in the retail prices index from September 2000 to September 2001. Orders under Article 33 are required to change the limits by the amount by which the index for the September (immediately preceding the making of the Order) is higher (or lower) than the index for the previous September. Article 4 of the Order contains transitional provisions determining the circumstances in which the increased limits will apply.
