The Sex Discrimination (Questions and Replies) (Amendment) Order 1977
Article 4(a) of the Sex Discrimination (Questions and Replies) Order 1975 provides that, in proceedings before a county or sheriff court, a question served before the institution of the proceedings shall only be admissible as evidence in pursuance of section 74(2)(a) of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 if it was served within a period corresponding to the period specified in section 76(2) of the Act (institution of proceedings), as originally enacted. Section 76(2) was amended by section 79(4) of the Race Relations Act 1976 (c. 74) and the present Order makes a corresponding amendment to Article 4(a) of the Order of 1975; it provides that in a case to which section 66(5) of the Act of 1975 applies (education cases) a question must be served within the period of eight months beginning when the act complained of was done.
