TUPE - a guide to using the law for union reps

Chapter 2

What about share sales?

[ch 2: page 14]

TUPE will not apply to share sales, even if the change means that different people are brought in to manage the business. This is because TUPE only applies where there is a change to the identity of the employer (Millam v the Print Factory (London) 1991 Limited [2007] EWCA Civ 322).
