Claimant v Knights of Old Limited (in administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
The Tribunal made a protective award on 20 September 2024 after the first respondent's administrators consented to the claim proceeding. The claimant was entitled to remuneration during the protected period following the employer's failure to inform and consult regarding collective redundancies.
The claimant was entitled to £9,002.00 in total remuneration during the protected period based on weekly gross pay of £700.00. Having received only £5,600.00 from the Secretary of State, judgment was entered against the first respondent for the unpaid balance of £3,402.00.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Knights of Old Limited which entered administration. Following a protective award hearing on 20 September 2024, the Tribunal made a protective award in the claimant's favour after the administrators consented. The claimant's weekly gross pay was £700.00, entitling them to £9,002.00 during the protected period. The Secretary of State had paid £5,600.00 on account.
Decision
The Tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for the unpaid balance of the protective award in the sum of £3,402.00, representing the difference between the total entitlement of £9,002.00 and the £5,600.00 already received from the Secretary of State. The Recoupment Regulations apply to this award.
Practical note
Where an employer in administration fails to inform and consult regarding collective redundancies, a protective award will be enforced with the insolvent employer liable for amounts exceeding the statutory guarantee payment limits paid by the Secretary of State.
