On a TUPE transfer, what employee liability information on potential employment tribunal claims from transferring staff does the transferor have to provide to the transferee? Is there redress for the transferee if the transferor fails to warn it of possible tribunal claims? Stephen Simpson’s weekly round-up includes a case on these very issues, as well as other employment tribunal claims reported in the previous week.
