Trade Union Acts, 1871-1990
Notice is hereby given that the Registrar of Friendly Societies has pursuant to Section 8 of the Trade Union Act 1876, by writing under her hand dated 7th November 2022 cancelled the Certificate of Registry of the following Trade Unions.

593T Union of Motor Trade, Technical and Industrial Employees

The ground of such cancelling is that the Trade Unions have wilfully and after notice from me, violated the provisions of, the above-mentioned Acts, and in particular section 16, of the Trade Union Act 1871, in that the Trade Unions have failed to transmit annual returns to the Registrar.

The Trade Unions cease to enjoy the privileges of registered trade unions, but without prejudice to any liability actually incurred by such Trade Unions, which may be enforced against the same as if the cancelling had not taken place.

In respect of trade unions that held a negotiation licence, cancellation of the certificate of registration also means that the negotiation licence ceases to have effect.
