Injured At Work, Then Company Was Bought Out
I have sustained industrial injuries working for a company which has since been bought out and taken over by a larger company. Does the new company inherit the liability of the original company? I’ve read something about TUPE?

The new company inherits the old companies liability. The purpose of TUPE is to protect employees if the business in which they are employed changes hands. Its effect is to move employees and any liabilities associated with them from the old employer to the new employer by operation of law.
