Section 8(4)

If in any proceedings before a court, the Employment Appeal Tribunal, the Central Arbitration Committee, ACAS or an employment tribunal a question arises whether a trade union is independent and there is no certificate of independence in force and no refusal, withdrawal or cancellation of a certificate recorded in relation to that trade union— that question shall not be decided in those proceedings, and the proceedings shall instead be stayed or sisted until a certificate of independence has been issued or refused by the Certification Officer.
