The Dock Work (Compensation Payments Scheme) Regulations 1989
These Regulations provide a scheme of compensation for former registered dock workers dismissed by reason of redundancy on the passing of the Act, or at any time thereafter until the end of 31st July 1992. The Scheme, set out in the Schedule to the Regulations, defines what is meant by “dismissed by reason of redundancy” (paragraph 3) and makes provision for dismissal by a subsequent employer when a registered employer’s business is transferred in circumstances where the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 (S.I. 1981/1794) apply (paragraph 4). There is an upper age limit of 65 for entitlement to compensation (paragraph 5).
