Brochure More information from http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/1846023/ New TUPE Regulations Description: The new TUPE regulations came into force on 6 April 2006 what do they mean for your future business transfers? Find out in this concise Special Briefing. The old TUPE regulations had become bogged down in confusion and uncertainty. In 2002, for example, in the case of Complete Clean Ltd v Savage (EAT 2002) the Employment Appeal Tribunal stated: The law is in a state of critical UK uncertainty. It is almost impossible to give accurate advice to [those] involved in possible transfers with any degree of certainty. And so the regulations on the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (to give TUPE its full title) were revised to address many of the previous uncertainties. They now apply to all business transfers and include long-term business relationships for contracted services.
