We also discuss the protected rights of the employee under the transfer, including part of an undertaking. Other sailant issues under discussion are the matters of dismissal unless for a ETO reason and in depth rights, liabilities and contractual obligations affecting the tranfer such as redundancies etc. Depth will be added to the programme where case studies will be in use to add and to illustrate the nature and complexities of a tranfer under the TUPE regulations, hence the interactive nature of the course.

Learners are expected to fully participate by undertaking formative exercises based around TUPE making use of live case law in hypothetical situations as a measure of garnering more understandings on the operations and liabilities of TUPE regulations as it applies to emloyment rights.
