Summary:

This Order revokes, with effect from 1st October 2004, subject to the transitional provision in article 3 - (a) the Code of Practice (for the elimination of discrimination in the field of employment against disabled persons or persons who have had a disability) issued by the Secretary of State for Education and Employment under section 53 of the 1995 Act on 25th July 1996; and (b) the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 Code of Practice on the Duties of Trade Organisations to their Disabled Members and Applicants issued under that section by the Secretary of State for Education and Employment on 16th July 1999. Article 3 of the Order provides for those Codes of Practice to continue to have effect after 30th September 2004 in relation to proceedings arising from a complaint presented to an employment tribunal concerning an alleged act of discrimination contrary to Part 2 of the 1995 Act committed before 1st October 2004. This is for the purposes of section 53(5) of the 1995 Act which provides for a code of practice to be admissible in proceedings before a court or an employment tribunal, and of section 53(6) which requires a court or tribunal to take into account a provision of a code which appears to the court or tribunal to be relevant to any question arising in those proceedings.
