Kerry Foods Ltd v A Creber and others: EAT 11 Oct 1999

Where a receiver of a company dismissed the employees and then transferred the business to a purchaser, that amounted to an unfair dismissal because it was a TUPE transfer, even though the manufacturing base also moved. The company was liable to the employees. Neither whether there was an economic technical or organisational reason nor the unfairness of the dismissal arose.
