In person For the Second Claimant: Ms Jabir (counsel) For the Third Claimant: Mr Pickard (counsel) For the First and Second v (a) of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (“TUPE”). 2. Following a remedy hearing on 5th and 6th November 2024, Mr Palmer requested written — 2025

Following an earlier preliminary hearing, Employment Judge Tueje had determined that the Claimants' employment transferred to the First Respondent (TGS Geophysical Company (UK) Ltd) on 31st August 2022 under regulation 3(1)(a) of TUPE 2006. At this reserved remedy judgment, the tribunal found that all three Claimants (Mr Bellingham, Mr Jakeman and Mr Reid) were automatically unfairly dismissed pursuant to regulation 7 of TUPE because the sole or principal reason for dismissal was the relevant transfer. Their wrongful dismissal claims also succeeded as none received the contractual notice to which they were entitled.

The tribunal upheld claims that Ion UK failed to inform and consult under regulation 13 of TUPE 2006 and awarded the maximum 13 weeks' pay for each Claimant. Mr Jakeman additionally succeeded on a holiday pay / unauthorised deduction claim for 8.23 days of accrued but untaken leave. The judge declined to make any Polkey reduction and held the Recoupment Regulations did not apply.
