Takeover of Bus Service did not constitute a transfer of an undertaking

26 May 2016

By judgment of 24 May 2016, the Supreme Court found that the Danish Act on Transfer of Undertakings were not applicable in connection with the transfer of a bus service to a new operator, as no significant physical elements - in this case busses - were transferred. This applied even though both the new and the former operator were leasing their busses and therefore did not transfer them.
