Ms E Buss v Rye HB Ltd: 2309405/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The correct identity of the respondent is Rye HB Limited, not Rye hb (hoof).[2]The claimant worked at Hoof restaurant in Rye. That economic entity transferred from The Hoof Burgers Limited to Rye HB Limited on 5 February 2025.[3]The claimant was not dismissed although she was issued with a new contract of employment some time after the transfer. Any purported variation of contract was void under Regulation 4(9) of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employees) Regulations on 5 February 2025.[4]Accordingly, the claimant’s period of continuous service was unaffected and began in 2020. She therefore had the relevant service to bring a complaint of unfair dismissal. That complaint will continue to a final hearing on 4 and 5 October 2027.
