SEX DISCRIMINATION (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1976 - SECT 65



65.(1) Where an industrial tribunal finds that a complaint presented to it
under Article 63 is well-founded the tribunal shall make such of the following
as it considers just and equitable

(a)an order declaring the rights of the complainant and the respondent in
relation to the act to which the complaint relates;

(b)an order requiring the respondent to pay to the complainant compensation of
an amount corresponding to any damages he could have been ordered by a county
court to pay to the complainant if the complaint had fallen to be dealt with
under Article 66;

(c)a recommendation that the respondent take within a specified period action
appearing to the tribunal to be practicable for the purpose of obviating or
reducing the adverse effect on the complainant of any act of discrimination to
which the complaint relates.

(2) The amount of compensation awarded to a person under paragraph (1)(b)
shall not exceed the limit for the time being imposed by Article 37 of the
Industrial Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1976.

(3) If without reasonable justification the respondent to a complaint fails to
comply with a recommendation made by an industrial tribunal under paragraph
(1)(c), then, if they think it just and equitable to do so,

(a)the tribunal may increase the amount of compensation required to be paid to
the complainant in respect of the complaint by an order made under paragraph
(1)(b), or

(b)if an order under paragraph (1)(b) could have been made but was not, the
tribunal may make such an order.

(4) Where compensation falls to be awarded in respect of any act both under
the provisions of this Article and under any other statutory provision, an
industrial tribunal shall not award compensation under this Article in respect
of any loss or other matter which has been taken into account under that other
statutory provision by the court in awarding compensation in an action in
respect of that act.
