Which body may publish findings on how equality in employment is being implemented, and what must be true before it does so?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file we read the survey or inspection results themselves, any paper showing the Minister of Employment and Labor's decision to publish them, and the record of which other law, if any, restricts publication of that material.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the actor and the condition together: the Minister of Employment and Labor may publish the state of implementation of employment equality or other survey results only where the Minister considers publication necessary to secure the effectiveness of this Act's enforcement, so the file has to show both the finding of necessity and the material to be published.
Another reading turns on the proviso: where publication is restricted under another law, the power to publish does not apply at all, so the first question a file raises is not what the Minister considers necessary but whether another statute limits publication of these particular results.
Your judgment
What in a file could show that publication is necessary for the Act's enforcement rather than merely useful, and which other law's limits would have to be checked first?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change the condition for publication or the reach of the proviso, or if a court decision explains what showing of necessity satisfies it.
