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 consult regarding collective redundancies. The administrators consented to the claim proceeding and the claimant was entitled to remuneration during the protected period.
The claimant was entitled to £10,609.50 in remuneration during the protected period but only received £5,600.00 from the Secretary of State. The first respondent was ordered to pay the unpaid balance of £5,009.50.
Facts
The first respondent entered administration and dismissed the claimant without proper consultation regarding collective redundancies. The administrators consented to the protective award claim proceeding. A protective award was made on 20 September 2024 entitling the claimant to £10,609.50 based on weekly gross pay of £825.00. The Secretary of State paid £5,600.00, leaving an unpaid balance.
Decision
The Tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for the unpaid balance of £5,009.50 representing the difference between the total protective award entitlement and the amount already paid by the Secretary of State. The Recoupment Regulations apply to this award.
Practical note
Where an insolvent employer fails to pay the full amount due under a protective award and the Secretary of State has made a partial payment, the tribunal will enter judgment for the unpaid balance against the employer.
