First of all, welcome to Portugal 😊 Hope you gonna love it as much as I do. Second, please allow me to tell you how much of an inspiration of a person you are. It's so amazing to see how you and Barney respect and love each other. People who care, who love, who respect are becoming so rare, that seeing how you live becomes so heartwarming. Never let life kill your spark ❤️ Looking forward for your updates. Castelo Branco is beautiful.

if you were employed at the caravan park and paid PAYE then TUPE would have come into play. The new owners would have had to keep you employed in your job and if there was no job redundancy would have come into play. I'd say you would have had a claim under TUPE/Redundancy and if you were dismissed it was probably unfair dismissal, which would have opened up an unfair dismissal claim. Might be worth looking into.
