Collective Redundancies (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 come into force
Implementation date: 8 October 2006
The Regulations amend the Employment
Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 to reflect the European Court of
Justice's decision in
Junk v Kühnel [2005] IRLR 310 ECJ, which clarified employers' duties to inform and consult employees
before undertaking collective redundancies under the Collective Redundancies
Directive. The
Regulations
can
be viewed on the HMSO website.
