Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the employee's contract transferred to the successor under Art. 333 OR despite the prior dismissal.
Decisione estratta
No transfer occurred because the employment relationship had been validly terminated before the business transfer; the dismissal was not shown to have been issued to evade the statutory protection.
Motivazione estratta
A dismissal is invalid under Art. 333 OR only if it is given in view of the transfer to deprive the employee of protection. The factual finding that the dismissal was based on loss of premises and the main customer was not challenged as arbitrary.
