These Regulations revoke and replace (in part) the Disability Discrimination (Services and Premises) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (S.R. 1996 No. 557) and (in full) the Disability Discrimination (Services and Premises) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 (S.R. 1999 No. 202). In addition, they amend the application of the Disability Discrimination (Providers of Services) (Adjustment of Premises) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (S.R. 2003 No. 109) and revoke and replace Regulation 3 of and the Schedule to those Regulations. These changes partially consolidate provisions in relation to providers of services. In addition, these Regulations make provision in relation to public authorities, which arises out of new duties on public authorities carrying out their functions, introduced into the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”) by the Disability Discrimination (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.
