Section 28 currently provides that the manner in which an appeal against a compliance notice to the Labour Court would be effected, and likewise an appeal from the decision of the Labour Court to the Circuit Court under this section, would be subject to regulations made by the Minister. This amendment obviates the need for the Minister to make such regulations and provides that the aforementioned appeals will be regulated by rules made under section 20 of the Industrial Relations Act 1946. In other words, the Labour Court will regulate its own procedures in this respect and not procedures set by the Minister.
