Employer changing terms of contract

yelf

I joined FirmA in 2008. In 2009 it was bought by firm B. In 2014 firm B changed the contract and brought in some far stricter terms regards solicitation of clients. All staff had to sign the contract. Due to various reasons I was never asked to sign it.

So my contract is still the original one with Firm A. I have never signed any contract etc with Firm B.

I have since resigned and the employer sent me a leaving letter, in which it reconfirmed the various clauses that were added in 2014.

As far as I can tell, I am not bound by these terms.

The original contract with Firm A did mention changes could be made with 30 days notice and not require any signature, but I am not sure if the changes in 2014 could be put on me as it happened under Firm B.

For clarity, Firm B bought the shares of Firm A.

Can anyone provide any help please!
Thanks

Employment contract terms do not have to be on a signed piece of paper. If you were given the new terms in writing they will form part of your current employment contract unless you registered with the employer that you did not accept them and were therefore continuing to work whilst still rejecting the new terms.
