#Employment Continuity

Bombay HC rules that an arbitration clause survives a business transfer if employment continuity is maintained, even absent explicit mention in the new agreement. This protects parties relying on pre-transfer arbitration terms during disputes over confidential information and contractual breaches.

Orissa High Court rules that employees transferred under nationalization laws retain statutory pension rights under the Burmah Oil Act, 1981, irrespective of temporary or conditional appointment terms. The judgment reinforces that statutory protections prevail over contractual stipulations, ensuring continuity of pensionary benefits for affected workers.
