Preamble
The legal framework within
which this Code will operate is explained in the text. While every effort has
been made to ensure that explanations included in the Code are accurate, only
the courts can give authoritative interpretation of the law.
The Code's provision apply
equally to men and women, but for simplicity the masculine pronoun is used
throughout. Wherever it appears in the Code, the Word "court" is used
to mean the High Court in England and Wales and the Court of Session in
Scotland, but without prejudice to the Code's relevance to any proceedings
before any other court.
Passages in this Code
which are printed in bold green type
outline or re-state provisions in primary legislation.
On the day on which this
Code of Practice comes into operation in pursuance of an order under section
3(5) of the Employment Act 1980, the Code of Practice "Picketing"
which came into effect on 17 December 1980 ceases to have effect subject to any
transitional provisions or savings made by the order.
