Disability Discrimination Code of Practice (Trade Organisations and Qualifications Bodies) (Revocation) Order 2008 (SI 2008/1336)

Commences 23 June 2008. Revokes the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 Code of Practice for Trade Organisations and Qualifications Bodies. Makes transitional provision for proceedings under Pt 2 of the 1995 Act to the extent they relate to events taking place before 23 June 2008 and have not been determined by that date. The code is to continue to have effect in relation to such proceedings for the purposes of the Equality Act 2006, which requires a court or tribunal to take into account any provision of a code of practice which appears to it to be relevant.
