Services for Education (S4E Limited) v White and Birmingham City Council UKEAT/0024/15

Continuity of service for TUPE purposes

The EAT upheld an ET’s decision that a music teacher who worked for Birmingham Council on a succession of fixed term contracts each lasting for the academic year 1 September – 31 July and who was transferred to a new provider, S4E, pursuant to TUPE could rely on past continuity of service when the transfer took effect on 1 September.
