    If your claim was against the company as your employer then it is still that company against which you have your claim. The company was your legal employer, not the individual directors (even if they owned the company too).

    The new owners should have done "due diligence" to be aware of your claim (assuming it has been lodged with the ET and isn't just in the preparation stage").

If what you state is true this causes us some what of a delema as my partner was taken on by the company who bought it 2 weeks before the sale
