I move amendment No. 26:

In page 36, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following:“(iv) make a decision that a separate hearing for an employment equality case is required, in addition to a general employment rights decision,.”.

This concerns the flexibility issue. Not all cases before a commission will fall neatly into one area. How will an adjudication officer determine an equality claim where he or she has parallel investigation powers and proceed to hear other aspects of a case where he or she has no similar powers?
