The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (Consequential Amendments) (Employment) Order 2013
This Order makes amendments to secondary legislation in consequence of section 23 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (c. 24) (“the Act”). The amendments reflect the renaming of “compromise agreements” and “compromise contracts” as “settlement agreements” and “settlement contracts” by section 23 of the Act. In relation to those instruments which apply to the United Kingdom, the amendments provide that the terms “compromise agreement” and “compromise contract” will continue to apply in relation to Northern Ireland. The amendments are set out in the Schedule to the Order and come into force on 30th August 2013.
