TUPE in 2010 - Practical guidance on the impact of TUPE regulation on business

Thursday 18th May, 5.5 CPD, Radisson Edwardian Mountbatten London, WC2H 9HD

Devised and created by Michael Rubenstein, Editor, Industrial Relations Law Reports, this leading TUPE event will cover the most recent case law that has affected TUPE rights and duties and will also review cases that are in the pipeline.

Parkwood Leisure v Alemo-Herron on the transfer of rights from a collective agreement

Metropolitan Resources Ltd v Churchill Dulwich Ltd on the correct approach to establishing a service provision change

Unison v Somerset County Council on identifying “affected employees” for information and consultation purposes

Cable Realisations Ltd v GMB Northern and Royal Mail Group Ltd v Communication Workers Union on the scope of the duty to inform

This conference will also cover:

Transfer of an economic entity, service provision change as well as secondees

Informing and consulting, employee liabilities and remedies

How the law has changed vis-à-vis the legal effects of a transfer

Contractual variations and unfair dismissal
