(a)that, consistent with the European Council Directive on Fixed-Term Work (1999/70/EC) which is required to be transposed in the UK by 10th July 2002, there is no longer a distinction between fixed-term and open ended contracts, for the purposes of ascertaining what are different types of contract for the purposes of the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000, and
(b)that, in order to comply with the terms of the judgement of the House of Lords in Preston-v-Wolverhampton Healthcare Trust (No. 2) [2001] ICR 217, the compensation that can be awarded in cases involving occupational pension schemes is no longer limited to the two years before the date on which the complaint was presented.
