Following the substitution of section 56 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (“the Act”) by Article 17 of the Disability Discrimination (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, this Order prescribes forms for questions and replies for cases falling within Part III of the Act (discrimination in areas other than employment and education), other than those falling within section 21A (employment services) and sections 19 to 21 in so far as sections 19 to 21 relate to group insurance arrangements. The section 21A and sections 19 to 21 cases come under the jurisdiction of industrial tribunals by virtue of section 25(6A), (7) and (8) of the Act, whereas the other Part III cases (the cases to which this Order applies) come within the jurisdiction of a county court.
