All transfers on or before 30 January 2014

Regulation 4 of old TUPE continues to govern future variations to contract terms where the transfer took place before 31 January 2014.

In summary, under Regulation 4(4) of old TUPE, a contract change is void if the sole or principal reason for the variation is either:

• the transfer itself; or

• a reason connected with the transfer that is not an economic, technical or organisational reason entailing changes in the workforce (see page 62).
