I move amendment No. 57:

In page 50, to delete line 8 and substitute the following: “(b) by the substitution of the following for subsection (3):

“(3) In subsection (1), ‘detriment’ means an act or omission referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (q) of the definition of ‘penalisation’ in section 3, subject to the modification that references in any of the said paragraphs to a worker shall be read as a reference to the person to whom the detriment is caused.”.”.

The amendment provides for an amendment to section 13 of the principal Act to clarify that a person can seek damages in respect of all forms of penalisation specified in the legislation. Again, this implements a recommendation of the committee, which is recommendation 10 of the pre-legislative scrutiny report.
