TRANSFER OF UNDERTAKINGS – A PRACTICAL GUIDE
The European Communities (Protection of Employees on Transfer of Undertakings) Regulations 2003; these Regulations reflect strongly the case law of the ECJ since 1977 interpreting the Acquired Rights Directive. In addition to specific provisions relating to bankruptcy and insolvency, the Regulations of 2003 seek to strengthen the protection of employees in a business transfer. In the current economic climate, the Regulations are now assuming greater importance but as both the ECJ and National case-law demonstrate, they are not easy to apply.
At this seminar, a leading authority on both the Irish and English position with an international reputation in the field, will guide delegates through the important issues and highlight the problem areas.
Date / Tuesday 8th July (9.00 a.m. – 1.00 p.m.; breakfast from 8.15am)Venue / William Jefferson Clinton Auditorium (formerly University Industry Centre), University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4.
