EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations come into force on 5 April 2005 and they amend the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1861, amended by S.I. 2004/2351) ("the main Regulations"). Their purpose is to change the date, from 6 April 2005 to 1 October 2005, on or after which all claims and responses to Employment Tribunals, other than in specified proceedings, must be presented on a form prescribed in accordance with Regulation 14 of the main Regulations.
No regulatory impact assessment has been undertaken because these Regulations will have no impact on the costs of business.
