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 administrators' consent. The claimant was entitled to remuneration during the protected period due to failure to inform and consult.
The claimant was entitled to £5,963.83 during the protected period based on weekly gross pay of £463.75. Having received only £3,710.00 from the Secretary of State, judgment was entered for the unpaid balance of £2,253.83.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Knights of Old Limited which entered administration. The company failed to inform and consult employees prior to collective redundancies. The administrators consented to protective award proceedings. The claimant's weekly gross pay was £463.75, and they were entitled to £5,963.83 during the protected period but received only £3,710.00 from the Secretary of State.
Decision
The tribunal made a protective award on 20 September 2024 and subsequently entered judgment against the first respondent for the unpaid balance of £2,253.83, being the difference between the total entitlement and the amount already received from the Secretary of State. Recoupment regulations apply.
Practical note
In insolvency cases involving protective awards, the Secretary of State will pay part of the award under the statutory guarantee scheme, but the insolvent employer remains liable for the balance.
