Tupe unaware of any transfer

Hi, not sure if anyone can shed some light.. its quite long winded so bear with me..
I worked for my previous employers for 6 years but always supported the same client whilst with the company. Anyhow unison were involved, due to underpayments on sleep ins/waking nights, and we were told we had a strong case where i was to recieve a back payment for underpayment of wages. Anyway to cut a long story short, a solicitor was appointed by my unison rep and they undertook meeting with my then employers. This is where it becomes complicated, my company said due to the new sleep rates having to go up, and their funding not allowing so, they were terminating the contract wuth the client i had supported for 6 years, basically only giving a few weeks notice. The family of the client on hearing this looked in to ways of getting another care provider, as the client was settled and happy with their staff.. The family decided the best way was through direct payment, they asked if i wanted to stay with the client, which i did, as i didnt want to be travelling miles by staying with my then company, , so i resigned, giving them notice to the end date of their contract with the client, which was received via email and aknowledged by management. So since then, meetings with previous employers have been happening involving my solicitor and rep, the previous employer threw into the mix, i was tupe transferred over to the new provider (which in this case is the client i support) so basically they are trying to pass financial responsibility away from themselves. I was never informed of any tupe transfer, and wondered how this can possibly be legal.. i had an offer made to me initially from previous employer to settle the case but on advice of my solicitor i was advised to reject the offer.. now a 2nd offer has been made to everyone involved except a hanful of employees that resignrd and went over to direct payment.. The gentlemens family have never been informed of tupe, so im wondering how they are getting away with this.. Its still going ahead and hopefully getting ready for it to go infront of a tribunal .. i just cant believe they are trying to put financial responsibility on someone tgst was once their client.. Any advice greatly appreciated..
