Royden & Others v Barnetts Solicitors – TUPE applies to a client's decision to change law firm

The "Original item" link at the foot of this page goes to a copy of the full judgment of Employment Judge Derek Reed in the Liverpool Employment Tribunal.

One of the main changes between the previous 1981 TUPE regulations and the new 2006 TUPE regulations is in the definition of "relevant transfer". A service provision change, such as the outsourcing by an employer of services provided by an employer, is now expressly covered.
