CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT AND REDUNDANCY PAYMENTS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1965 - SECT 32



32.(1) Where in accordance with any enactment or rule of law

(a)any act on the part of an employer, or

(b)any event affecting an employer (including, in the case of an individual,
his death),

[(2) Where the preceding subsection applies, and the employee's contract of
employment is not renewed, and he is not re-engaged under a new contract of
employment, so as to be treated, by virtue of section 13(3), as not having
been dismissed, he shall, without prejudice to section 13(8) be taken for the
purposes of this Act to be dismissed by reason of redundancy if the
circumstances in which his contract is not so renewed and he is not so
re-engaged are wholly or mainly attributable to one or other of the facts
specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of section 11(2).]

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2), section 11(2)(a), in so far as it
relates to the employer ceasing or intending to cease to carry on the
business, shall be construed as if the reference to the employer included a
reference to any person to whom, in consequence of the act or event in
question, power to dispose of the business has passed.

[(4) In this section any reference to section 13(3) includes a reference to
the said section 13(3) as applied by section 23(2) or as so applied and, where
appropriate, modified by section 23A(2), and where section 13(3) applies with
modifications in accordance with the said section 23A(2) the references in
subsection (2) to renewal or re-engagement under a contract of employment
shall be construed as including references to renewal of or re-engagement in
employment otherwise than under a contract of employment.]
