EAT shows a number of factors decide when TUPE applies

08 December 2016

In the recent case of ALNO (UK) Ltd v Turner the EAT stressed the need to apply the “multi-factorial” test established in an earlier TUPE case

This case emphasises that in any business transfer case falling under reg.3(1)(a) (as opposed to a service provision change under reg.3(1)(b)), the multi-factorial approach in Cheesman v R Brewer Contracts Ltd must always be applied.

Dr John McMullen considers the case in his article for Personnel Today here
