“The company administrator’s dismissal of a company employee when it had gone into administration could be for a reason connected with the transfer of a business, for the purposes of regulation 7(1) of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, and constituted an automatic dismissal of the employee, even if the disposal of the business and assets and the identity of the transferee had not been in contemplation at the time of that dismissal.”
