Claimant v Knights of Old Limited (in administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
The Tribunal made a protective award on 20 September 2024 for failure to inform and consult under TULRCA 1992. The first respondent's administrators consented to the claim proceeding. The Tribunal calculated remuneration due during the protected period.
The claimant was entitled to £8,551.90 during the protected period but only received £5,320.00 from the Secretary of State. The Tribunal ordered the first respondent to pay the unpaid balance of £3,231.90 as unpaid wages under the protective award.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Knights of Old Limited which entered administration. The first respondent failed to inform and consult employees before making collective redundancies. The claimant's weekly gross pay was £665.00. The administrators consented to the claim proceeding and a protective award was made on 20 September 2024.
Decision
The Tribunal ordered the first respondent to pay £3,231.90 being the unpaid balance of remuneration due under the protective award. The claimant was entitled to £8,551.90 during the protected period but had already received £5,320.00 from the Secretary of State under the statutory guarantee payment scheme. The Recoupment Regulations apply.
Practical note
Where a protective award is made against an insolvent employer, the Secretary of State will pay part of the award from the National Insurance Fund, but the employer remains liable for any amount exceeding the statutory maximum guarantee payment limit.
