Meaning of “transfer” in employment

“Transfer” has the same meaning under section 218(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as in the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (SI 1981 No 1794), when determining whether an undertaking had been transferred thereby continuing a person’s period of employment, and thus enabling him to bring a claim for unfair dismissal.The Employment Appeal Tribunal dismissed an appeal by the company.
