Claimant v Knights of Old Limited (in administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
A protective award was made on 20 September 2024, indicating the employer failed to comply with obligations to inform and consult employees prior to collective redundancy. This judgment enforces payment of the protective award.
The claimant was entitled to £9,002.00 under the protective award. Having received only £5,600.00 from the Secretary of State, the first respondent is liable for the unpaid balance of £3,402.00.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Knights of Old Limited, which went into administration. The employer failed to comply with statutory obligations to inform and consult employees prior to collective redundancies. A protective award was made on 20 September 2024. The claimant was entitled to £9,002.00 based on weekly gross pay of £700.00 but had only received £5,600.00 from the Secretary of State.
Decision
The tribunal ordered the first respondent to pay the unpaid balance of the protective award in the sum of £3,402.00. The administrators had consented to the claim proceeding. Neither party made representations against entry of judgment, and the Recoupment Regulations apply to the award.
Practical note
Where a protective award is made and the employer is insolvent, employees may receive partial payment from the National Insurance Fund via the Secretary of State, with the employer remaining liable for amounts exceeding statutory limits.
