Wood v Caledon Social Club Ltd (Debarred) & Anor UKEAT/0528/09/CEA
Appeal against a decision by the ET that there was no TUPE transfer in a claim of unfair dismissal because the temporary cessation of the economic entity, in this case a bar, prevented a relevant transfer. The EAT ruled that the economic entity had not ceased, it had merely been suspended until the bar re-opened, and thus there was a relevant transfer. Appeal allowed.

Chambers & Ors v QCR Motors Ltd (In Voluntary Liquidation) & Anor UKEAT/0545/09/MW
Appeals against decision by ET that claims of unfair dismissal had been brought out of time and therefore the court did not have jurisdiction to hear their complaints. The claimants claimed unfair dismissal after a TUPE transfer. The ET ruled, and the EAT agreed, that the clock for bringing a claim started on the date of transfer of the business, the claimants were aware of the date of transfer and were certainly aware of the date 3 weeks later. Therefore, it was reasonably practicable to have brought the claims within the 3 month limit. Appeals dismissed.

Derrick Cyffin Jones T/A The Barley Mow Public House v Beardmore UKEAT/0392/09/DM
Appeal against ruling that the claimant was qualified to claim for unfair dismissal as a TUPE transfer had taken place. The EAT rejected the ET's ruling on the basis that TUPE did not apply. The activities which the claimant conducted were not transferred; she was offered, and took up, a different job with a different employer. The claimant herself could not be regarded as an 'economic entity' as defined in the TUPE regulations, so therefore she failed to show that there was any continuity of employment and she lacked sufficient qualifying employment to enable her to bring her claim for unfair dismissal.
