§ (1) The provisions of this section shall have effect where, in any proceedings on a complaint under section 94 of this Act, an industrial tribunal or the Industrial Court makes an award of compensation to be paid by an employer in consequence of action taken by the employer or by a person acting on his behalf, and the employer claims—
- (a) that the action so taken by him or on his behalf was induced by pressure exercised on him by another person (in this section referred to as 'the third party') by means of action to which section (Pressure on employer to infringe rights of workers) of this Act applies, and
- (b) that by virtue of subsection (3) of that section the action taken by the third party, whereby pressure was so exercised on the employer, constituted an unfair industrial practice.
§ (2) In the circumstances specified in the preceding subsection the employer may, in accordance with industrial tribunal regulations or Industrial Court rules, as the case may be, require the third party to be joined as a party to the proceedings; and if in the proceedings the industrial tribunal or the Industrial Court finds that the claim of the employer (as speci-
1372§ fled in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the preceding subsection) is well-founded, then, subject to subsection (4) of this section, the tribunal or Court may, if it considers that it would be just and equitable to do so, make an order requiring the third party to pay to the employer a contribution in respect of the compensation awarded against him.
§ (3) The amount of any contribution ordered to be paid under this section in respect of any compensation—
- (a) shall be such amount as the industrial tribunal or the Industrial Court, as the case may be, considers to he just and equitable in the circumstances, and
- (b) may, if the tribunal or Court so determines, be such as to constitute a complete indemnity.
§ (4) Where the third party is an official of a trade union, and it is shown that, in taking the action in question, he was acting in his capacity as such an official and within the scope of his authority on behalf of the trade union—
- (a) the industrial tribunal or the Industrial Court, as the case may be, shall not order him to pay any contribution to the employer under this section, but
- (b) nothing in the preceding paragraph shall affect the power of the tribunal or Court to order a contribution to be paid by the trade union.—[Mr. R. Carr.]
