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 for the respondent's failure to consult on collective redundancies.
The claimant was entitled to £9,002.00 under the protective award but only received £5,600.00 from the Secretary of State. The tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for the unpaid balance of £3,402.00 after neither party provided representations against this.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Knights of Old Limited which entered administration. The first respondent failed to inform and consult on collective redundancies. The claimant's weekly gross pay was £700.00. Following consent from the administrators, a protective award was made on 20 September 2024, entitling the claimant to £9,002.00 during the protected period. The Secretary of State paid £5,600.00 on account, leaving a balance of £3,402.00 unpaid.
Decision
The tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for the unpaid balance of £3,402.00 under the protective award. Neither party provided representations against the judgment. The Recoupment Regulations apply to the award.
Practical note
Where a protective award is made against an insolvent employer in administration, the tribunal will enter judgment for any balance unpaid by the Secretary of State after the statutory payment limit, subject to recoupment provisions.
