The Valuation and Community Charge Tribunals (Transfer of Jurisdiction) Regulations 1989

Regulation 5

SCHEDULE 1 CONTINUITY OF EMPLOYMENT

1.  This Schedule applies to any person (an “employee”) who immediately before the transfer date is employed under a contract of employment with a local valuation panel.

2.  The contract of employment between an employee and the local valuation panel shall not be terminated by that panel ceasing to exist, but shall have effect from the transfer date as if originally made between the employee and the tribunal (“the appropriate tribunal”) established by regulation 3 of the Valuation and Community Charge Tribunals Regulations 1989(1) for the area for which that panel was established.

3.  Without prejudice to paragraph 2–

(a) all the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of the panel under or in connection with a contract to which this Schedule applies shall on the transfer date by virtue of this paragraph be transferred to the appropriate tribunal; and

(b) anything done before the transfer date by or in relation to the panel in respect of that contract or the employee shall be deemed from that date to have been done by or in relation to the tribunal.

4.  Paragraphs 2 and 3 are without prejudice to any right of an employee to terminate his contract of employment if a substantial change is made to his detriment in his working conditions; but no such right shall arise by reason only of the change of employer effected by this Schedule.
