Recent years have seen dramatic developments in the law of business transfers, both in the House of Lords and in the European Court, all of which have fundamentally altered the law and in particular as it relates to pre-transfer dismissal liability. The new edition of this book in looseleaf format, reflects these changes whilst maintaining a concise, readable approach.

This is the leading work on TUPE from the leading commentator. The new looseleaf edition maintains its acclaimed approach of providing practical guidance, from the viewpoint of employers, employees, vendors and purchasers, trade unions, and both corporate and litigation lawyers.

The service includes checklists and guidelines on warranties and indemnities together with a comprehensive collection of statutory materials and lists of current cases before the ECJ, decided ECJ cases and tables of current compensation levels.
