Section 7(1)

Where either before or after a relevant transfer, any employee of the transferor or transferee is dismissed, that employee shall be treated for the purposes of Part X of the 1996 Act (unfair dismissal) as unfairly dismissed if the sole or principal reason for his dismissal is— the transfer itself; or a reason connected with the transfer that is not an economic, technical or organisational reason entailing changes in the workforce.
