WRC rejects Simon Legg’s transfer of undertakings complaint against Ceva Logistics

The Workplace Relations Commission found Simon Legg’s complaint against Ceva Logistics was not well founded, ruling that a change in company ownership through a share sale did not involve a transfer of undertakings. The decision was dated 17 July 2025. Legg sought a ruling that the ownership change was a transfer. Ceva Logistics argued it was a share acquisition and the legal employer had not changed. The adjudication officer said the case was almost identical to an earlier decision involving a share sale without a change of employer.
