(b)has been notified in writing by the Institute by 31st March 2013 that they are to be transferred to the Authority.
(2) Any person to whom paragraph (1) applies is, on the transfer date, to be transferred to the employment of the Authority.
(3) The contract of employment of a person whose employment has transferred to the Authority under paragraph (2)—
(a)is not terminated by the transfer, and

(4) Without prejudice to paragraph (3)—
(a)all the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of the Institute, under or in connection with its contract of employment with a person transferred under paragraph (2), are to transfer to the Authority on the transfer date; and
(b)any act or omission before the transfer date of or in relation to the Institute, in respect of that person or that person’s contract of employment, is deemed to have been an act or omission of or in relation to the Authority.
(5) Paragraphs (2) to (4) do not operate to transfer the contract of employment of a person to whom paragraph (1) applies, or any rights, powers, duties and liabilities under, or in connection with, that contract, if, before the transfer date, that person informs the Authority or the Institute that they object to becoming employed by the Authority.
(6) Where a person to whom paragraph (1) applies has objected to the transfer of that person’s contract of employment to the Authority as described in paragraph (5), the transfer operates so as to terminate that person’s contract of employment with the Institute.
(7) Subject to paragraph (8), a person whose contract of employment is terminated in accordance with paragraph (6) is not to be treated, for any purpose, as having been dismissed by the Institute.
(8) Where the transfer involves or would involve a substantial change in the working conditions to the material detriment of a person whose employment is or would have transferred under paragraph (1), that person may treat the contract of employment as having been terminated, and that person shall be treated for any purpose as having been dismissed by the employer.
(9) No damages shall be payable by an employer as a result of a dismissal falling within paragraph (8) in respect of any failure by the employer to pay wages to a person in respect of a notice period which the person has failed to work.
(10) Paragraphs (2), (3) and (5) to (8) are without prejudice to any right of a person arising apart from this article to terminate that person’s contract of employment without notice in acceptance of a repudiatory breach of contract by the employer.
