The Labour Party has until 10 December to draft an action plan to implement the recommendations, which is legally enforceable by the court if not fulfilled.

The Commission can enter into a formal agreement with a person or organisation that it believes has committed an unlawful act. By entering into an agreement, the person or organisation agrees not to commit an unlawful act. As such, it is often an effective alternative to other formal enforcement action.

Agreements can be entered into without a formal investigation and will involve putting an action plan in place. It’s important to note that by agreeing to an action plan, however, the individual or organisation is not admitting that there has been an unlawful act.

Once the agreement and action plan are in place, we will keep in regular contact with the person or organisation, who must report regularly on progress. If they don’t comply with the agreement, or we think that compliance is unlikely, we can take further action through the courts.

Additionally, the Commission may suspend an investigation if the organisation being investigated agrees to enter into a section 23 agreement with an action plan. This means we will not recommence the investigation if the organisation complies with the terms of the agreement and action plan.
