Employment Rights BillContribution
50: Schedule 2, page 180, leave out lines 7 to 18 and insert—
“(3) It is immaterial for the purposes of subsection (1)(d) or (e) whether or not the proceedings were, or would have been, well-founded provided that the worker acted in good faith in bringing the proceedings or alleging the existence of the circumstance.”Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment, together with my amendment to Schedule 2, page 180, line 3, replaces the current subsections (3) and (4) of proposed section 47H of the Employments Rights Act 1996 so that they work correctly for all categories of proceedings mentioned in subsection (1)(d) of that proposed section.
