Objects of Industrial Law Society

The objects of Industrial Law Society are to advance the education of the public in industrial law and industrial relations, their practical application and development with a view to the education of all persons who are concerned with industrial law and industrial relations.

 

Membership

Industrial Law Society Membership is open to all persons, firms, companies, trade unions or associations interested or concerned in industrial law and/or industrial relations.  All members shall pay to Industrial Law Society a subscription to cover membership for a calendar year (ie 1 January to 31 December).

The Executive Committee shall have the right to refuse membership of Industrial Law Society to any applicant whose membership the Executive Committee believes would not be conducive to the objects of Industrial Law Society.  The Executive Committee may also preclude attendance of a member or non-member to any of Industrial Law Society’s events or conferences if it believes their conduct is not conducive to the objects of Industrial Law Society.

A member may be expelled from Industrial Law Society by a resolution carried by a simple majority of votes of members present and voting on a ballot at the Annual General Meeting or an Extraordinary General Meeting of Industrial Law Society of which notice has been duly given on the grounds of conduct not conducive to the objects of Industrial Law Society.

 

Use of Industrial Law Society’s name

No member is entitled to print or otherwise place the name of Industrial Law Society or refer to Industrial Law Society or membership of the Industrial Law Society on headed paper, compliment slips, brochures. No member is to refer to membership as a professional qualification. However, members may mention membership of Industrial Law Society in the normal course of business in a curriculum vitae or legal directories.

 

Training and Events

Industrial Law Society will place details of training courses and other events and conferences that it offers from time to time on the website under the events/conference page.  You will be able to book and pay for events on the website.  No VAT is payable on any of Industrial Law Society’s events, membership subscriptions or any other services as Industrial Law Society is a registered charity.

 

Refunds

In the event that a fee-based event run by Industrial Law Society is cancelled then Industrial Law Society will seek to reschedule the event on an alternative date where possible.  Where participants are not able to attend the rescheduled event or Industrial Law Society is unable to reschedule the said event, then a refund of the booking fee will be offered to participants. 

Industrial Law Society does not offer refunds for membership subscriptions or for any fee-based event or conference.  However, if a participant cancels their attendance at a fee-based event or conference due to unforeseen exceptional circumstances then they should contact Industrial Law Society’s co-ordinator Jean Hughes on 01787 463838 (9am to 1pm) to explain reasons for the cancellation. Mrs Hughes will then liaise with the Chair and/or Vice-Chairs of Industrial Law Society who will make the ultimate decision about whether Industrial Law Society can in fact offer a refund as a goodwill gesture or not.  Their decision will be final.
