Claimant v Knights of Old Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal made a protective award on 20 September 2024 following the respondent's failure to inform and consult under TULRCA 1992. The administrators had consented to the claim proceeding and the tribunal found the claim established.
The claimant was entitled to remuneration of £9,002.00 during the protected period based on weekly gross pay of £700.00. Having received £5,600.00 from the Secretary of State, judgment was entered against the first respondent for the unpaid balance of £3,402.00.
Facts
Knights of Old Limited entered administration and made redundancies without proper consultation. The claimant was dismissed without the employer complying with its obligations to inform and consult under TULRCA 1992. The administrators consented to a protective award claim proceeding. The claimant had weekly gross pay of £700.00 and the Secretary of State had already paid £5,600.00 of the protective award.
Decision
The tribunal made a protective award on 20 September 2024 for failure to inform and consult. The total remuneration due during the protected period was £9,002.00. After deducting the £5,600.00 already paid by the Secretary of State, the tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for the balance of £3,402.00, with recoupment regulations applying.
Practical note
Where a protective award is made following insolvency, the tribunal will determine the balance owed by the insolvent employer after accounting for payments made by the Secretary of State under the statutory guarantee scheme.
