Claimant v Knights of Old Limited (in administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
The Tribunal made a protective award on 20 September 2024 following the first respondent's failure to inform and consult. The administrators had given consent for the claim to proceed.
The Tribunal ordered payment of unpaid wages arising from the protective award. The claimant was entitled to £8,551.90 during the protected period, having received only £5,320.00 from the Secretary of State, leaving a balance owed of £3,231.90.
Facts
The claimant was dismissed by Knights of Old Limited, which entered administration. The first respondent failed to inform and consult on collective redundancies. A protective award was made on 20 September 2024. The claimant's weekly gross pay was £665.00, entitling them to £8,551.90 during the protected period. The Secretary of State paid £5,320.00 on account, leaving a balance owed of £3,231.90.
Decision
The Tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for £3,231.90, representing the unpaid balance of the protective award. Neither party showed cause why judgment should not be entered. The Recoupment Regulations apply to the award.
Practical note
Where a protective award is made for failure to inform and consult, the employer remains liable for any balance not paid by the Secretary of State under the statutory guarantee scheme, subject to recoupment.
