The second defendant had become General Secretary of the first defendant after the amalgamation of two unions. The defendants agreed a compromise as to his term of office. The applicants sought declarations that they were now joint secretary.
Held: The amalgamation had taken place under the 1992 Act. It was an issue as to whether there had been a TUPE transfer. The directive referred to a change in employer, the Regulations referred to a transfer. The fixed term had not been varied by the compromise agreement so as to allow him to continue to serve without re-election. The declaration was granted.
