(a) in subsection (1) by the deletion of "or excepted body",

(b) in subsection (2) -

(i) by the substitution of "shall" for "may", and

(ii) by the substitution of "the totality of remuneration and conditions of employment and may have regard to" for "terms and conditions of employment and to",

and

(c) by the insertion of the following subsections after subsection (3):

"(4) Where, pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection (3), the Court has decided that the recommendation concerned, or a part of that recommendation, was grounded on unsound or incomplete information, the determination shall be made in accordance with subsections (5) to (9).

(5) The Court shall not make a determination providing for an improvement in the remuneration, terms and conditions of employment of a grade, group or category of worker unless it is satisfied that the totality of remuneration and conditions of employment of the workers concerned provides a lesser benefit to the workers concerned having regard to the totality of remuneration and conditions of employment of comparable workers employed in similar employments.
