Short answer
TUPE consultation enquiries are clearer when transfer information, affected employee lists, representative records, proposed measures, consultation notes, dismissal or redundancy context and deadline concerns are organised. Legal4U cannot decide whether TUPE applies or whether consultation was lawful.

Keep Transfer And Affected-Employee Papers

Organise Consultation And Representative Records
