<p><strong> </strong></p><p>Section 24(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations
(Consolidation) Act 1992 currently requires trade unions to keep registers of their
members’ names and addresses and to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that
these registers are accurate and up-to-date.</p><p> </p><p>Under the 1992 Act, if
the Certification Officer finds that a union has breached this duty, he must make
a declaration of his findings and may make an enforcement order. Failure to comply
with the Certification Officer’s enforcement order may be treated as contempt of court.</p><p>
</p><p>In the last 10 years, the Certification Officer has made one declaration that
Unite the Union breached section 24(1) of the 1992 Act. This case was Mr J Hicks v
Unite the Union (No2) (D/32-39/14-15). The Certification Officer decided that it was
not appropriate to issue an enforcement order in this case.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
