The Law of TUPE Transfers 3e

The UK's transfer of undertakings legislation - TUPE - is of immense practical, commercial, and financial significance to employers and employees in both the public and private sectors, yet it is also one of the most notoriously complex and unpredictable areas of employment law. This specialist reference text offers a concise yet comprehensive examination of all aspects of TUPE, covering issues such as when the regulations apply, the legal effects of a transfer, the information and consultation requirements of the legislation, and claims arising from transfer related dismissals.

This third edition, updated to reflect the developments in this area since the previous edition in 2016, addresses decisions such as Govaerts and McTear on the impact on employees of the division of the undertaking in or services on which they work, Astrea on the validity of allegedly improper beneficial changes agreed pre transfer, Nicholls on the application of TUPE to public sector transfers, the application of TUPE to workers in Dewhurst, and many others.
