The applicant union alleged that a 'sale of a business' occurred when the respondent purchased a tavern that had been closed for several months after the previous owner defaulted.
The respondent argued that no business existed to be sold and highlighted renovations and a change in entertainment.
The Board found that a sale of a business had taken place, as the essential assets, including the liquor licence, were transferred and the premises continued to operate as a tavern.
The union's bargaining rights were declared to continue.
