On the basis of 'transfer of interests'. The DTI argued that staff had been transfered directly to another company - Flightline, who were operating Swissair, having been awarded the contract previously held by Debonair.
It was only those staff who went directly to Flightline (about 120) who were refused payment on this basis.
The President of the Tribunal ruled however that there was no transfer.
