Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013

Summary and Background

119.The Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure are set out in Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunal (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2004. These regulations are made under various powers contained in the ETA 1996.

120.As part of his review of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure, Mr. Justice Underhill recommended certain changes that would require amendments to the existing powers in primary legislation.

121.In certain claims, the amount able to be awarded by an employment tribunal is subject to a statutory limit. These limits are subject to annual adjustment in line with the Retail Prices Index. However, the rounding mechanism currently applicable has led to increases in the limits far greater than the rate of inflation. Section 22 will allow the rounding mechanism to be adjusted so that all limits are rounded up or down to the nearest pound, thereby ensuring that the changes closely reflect the rate of inflation.

122.Compromise agreements are being renamed as “settlement agreements”. This is the term more generally used for civil claims and is therefore more widely understood than compromise agreement. It also more accurately reflects their use and content.

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.
