36. The remedy for infringement of the rights conferred by these Regulations is by way of complaint to Industrial Court in accordance with this Part and not otherwise.".
That did not seem to be what the actual intention was because it seemed to me that there were other plainly other remedies available under Part III (not least complaints to an industrial tribunal under Chapter 8 of Part III). There were also applications (as distinct from complaints) to the Industrial Court under Part III. So it seemed to me that the intention might have been achieved in a provision along the following lines—
"Exclusivity of remedy
36. Where this Part provides for a remedy for infringement of any right by way of application or complaint to the Industrial Court (and provides for no other remedy), no other remedy is available for infringement of that right.".
The Departments, in response, accept that regulation 36 as it stands could be improved but "consider that a court would have no difficulty in construing it to cover all rights enforceable by application or complaint to the Industrial Court and to exclude rights enforceable by complaint to an industrial tribunal". I accept there may be some weight in the Departments’ assessment, but clearly it is better that such a provision (expressly seeking to restrict remedies that might otherwise be available) should do exactly what it says on its face; and, accordingly, I invite the Departments to amend the provision as and when an opportunity arises: I commend my suggestion to the Departments for consideration, with the usual caveat that is of course for the Departments to settle the draft in accordance with the precise intent sought to be achieved; for I am not equipped to do that and nor indeed is it my function.
26. Having criticised one fairly minor aspect of the Regulations that does not in any way affect their overall working or workability, I commend the Departments for the obvious care they have taken in making the Regulations (which make provision for the effective application of Council Regulation 2157/2001/EC and for the implementation of Council Directive 2001/86/EC).
THE MISCELLANEOUS FOOD ADDITIVES (AMENDMENT)
REGULATIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) 2004 (S.R. 2004/439)
27. I draw attention to the Miscellaneous Food Additives (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. 2004/439) on the ground that they are defectively drafted in one respect, which defect also is also of doubtful vires in that it seems to contain a retrospective element to an offence expressed in relation to proceedings for a defence to criminal proceedings.
28. The Regulations came into operation on 5 November 2004: they probably should have been brought into operation on 1 November 2004 (as were the similar Regulations for England and for Scotland) so as to implement the relevant Directive (that is to say, Commission Directive 2003/95/EC) on time; but, as it happened, the Regulations were made to come into operation on 5 November 2004, and the Food Standards Agency is stuck with that date, as it were. Regulation 4 inserts a new provision in regulation 11 of the principal Regulations (regulation 11E(a)), which provision contains a defence to criminal proceedings; but the problem is that the defence refers to the putting on the marking or the labelling of the food or food additive concerned before 1 November 2004, whereas the logic of the defence seems to be that the putting on the market or the labelling should take place before the commencement of the Regulations, that is to say, 5 November 2004. I raised this point with the Food Standards Agency and, in response, the Food Standards Agency has indicated that an amendment to correct this will be drafted as quickly as possible.
MOTOR CYCLES ETC. (SINGLE VEHICLE APPROVAL) (FEES)
REGULATIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) 2004 (S.R. 2004/486)
29. I draw attention to the Motor Cycles Etc. (Single Vehicle Approval) (Fees) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. 2004/486) on the ground that they are defectively drafted in one respect, acknowledged by the Department of the Environment. The point is simply that the Regulations contain extraneous definitions: regulation 2(1) defines the expressions "same model" and "Schedule 1 vehicle", whereas these expressions are not used elsewhere in the Regulations and therefore should not have been included. The definitions were, it seems, hangovers from an earlier draft in which those terms were used. The Department intends to remove the extraneous definitions at the next opportunity (towards the end of 2005), which seems a satisfactory course.
FARM NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT SCHEME (NORTHERN IRELAND)
2004 (S.R. 2004/498)
30. I draw attention to the Farm Nutrient Management Scheme (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. 2004/498) on the ground that it has been purportedly made according to the wrong statutory formula so that it appears to be of doubtful vires, acknowledged by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. The point is simply that the Scheme is made under Article 16 of the Agriculture and Fisheries (Financial Assistance) Order (Northern Ireland) 1987, which provision requires the approval of the Department of Finance and Personnel to the making of the Scheme, whereas the Scheme is puportedly framed in terms of the consent of the Department of Finance and Personnel. The Department intends to revoke and re-enact the Scheme.
THE FEEDING STUFFS (SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR FEED FOR
FOOD-PRODUCING ANIMALS) REGULATIONS
(NORTHERN IRELAND) 2004 (S.R. 2004/506)
31. I draw attention to the Feeding Stuffs (Safety Requirements for Feed for Food-Producing Animals) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. 2004/506) on the ground that they are defectively drafted in one respect, acknowledged by the Food Standards Agency. In regulation 3(3) it is plain that the words ", within its area," in relation to enforcement by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development have been included by mistake: they seem to have crept in from the similarly worded regulation 3(3) of the Regulations for Great Britain (S.I. 2004/3254) where the words are appropriately used in the context of local enforcement authorities. The Food Standards Agency intends to remove the defect when the Regulations are next amended, which seems satisfactory: the defect does not in any way affect the workability of the Regulations.
SALMONELLA IN LAYING FLOCKS (SURVEY POWERS)
REGULATIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) 2004 (S.R. 2004/525)
32. I draw attention to the Salmonella in Laying Flocks (Survey Powers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. 2004/525) on the ground that they contain drafting defects similar to those identified by the Joint Committee (of both House of the Parliament of the United Kingdom) on Statutory Instruments in relation to the corresponding Regulations for England (S.I. 2004/2885): see the Third Report of the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments Session 2004 – 2005, 14 December 2004. The Regulations for England contain an extraneous definition of "laying hen": the definition is not required because it is not used elsewhere in the Regulations; and the Regulations Northern Ireland curiously contain the same definition (again unnecessary, it seems to me) for the expression "laying flock" (whereas a "flock" must surely comprise a number of hens). Second, in both the Regulations for England and for Northern Ireland, regulation 7(b) is drafted so as to make non-compliance with regulation 3(2)(c) and 5(1)(e) an offence, whereas non-compliance with similar provisions (regulation 3(2)(a) and 5(1)(a) is not an offence. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs acknowledged the defects in a memorandum to the Joint Committee dated 6 December 2004, undertaking to make replacement Regulations "forthwith. The Department of Agriculture and Development, which was not aware of the Joint Committee’s Report on the Regulations for England (available only days before the Department made the Regulations for Northern Ireland), has undertaken to follow with replacement Regulations.
