The Trade Disputes Act of 1929 provided for

1. The Trade Disputes Act of 1929 aimed to provide machinery for the settlement of industrial disputes and imposed restrictions on strikes and lockouts. 2. Option (A) is incorrect. Participation of workers in the management of industries was not a provision of this Act. 3. Option (B) is incorrect. The Act aimed at conciliation and inquiry, not granting arbitrary powers to management, although its restrictions on strikes were seen as favouring employers. 4. Option (C) is incorrect. While the overall legal framework was British, the Act established specific mechanisms (Courts of Inquiry and Boards of Conciliation) rather than relying solely on regular British Court intervention for trade disputes. 5. Option (D) is correct. The Act provided for the establishment of Courts of Inquiry and Boards of Conciliation (a system of tribunals) to investigate and settle disputes. It also declared certain strikes and lockouts illegal (effectively a ban), particularly those in public utility services without prior notice and sympathetic strikes.
