Germany—in October 2012, the German Federal Labour Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht) rejected an attempt by the acquirer of an insolvent company to circumvent European transfer of undertaking rules.

The acquirer attempted to contractually transfer employees to a so-called "transitional company" (Transfergesellschaft) for a few hours only. The employees involved had previously signed five different employment offers presented by the acquirer, some of them limited, some unlimited in time. The acquirer subsequently accepted one of the offers, which was a fixed term contract.
