CAB Automotive Ltd v (1) Blake and others (2) Singh and others (3) RDS Automotive Interiors Ltd (in administration) UKEAT0298/07 | Practical Law

In CAB Automotive Ltd v Blake and others UKEAT0298/07, the EAT held that, where an administrator was "slimming down" a business with a view to sale, a tribunal could conclude that the reason or principle reason for the dismissal was "the transfer or a reason connected with it", even though no potential buyer was yet on the scene. This case confirms the earlier EAT decision in Morris v John Grose Group Ltd [1998] IRLR 499.
