    The Supreme Court has referred to the European Court of Justice the question of whether or not the TUPE Regulations should be given a "dynamic" interpretation, in the context of a dispute over a transferee's failure to honour the terms of a pay increase made under a collective agreement that was incorporated into the contracts of employment before the transfer.
