Claimant v Knights of Old Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
A protective award was made on 20 September 2024 following the first respondent's failure to properly inform and consult prior to collective redundancies. The administrators consented to the claim proceeding. Judgment was entered for the unpaid balance of remuneration due under the protective award.
Facts
The first respondent, Knights of Old Limited, went into administration and made collective redundancies without properly informing and consulting employees. The claimant was dismissed and entitled to remuneration during a protected period. The Secretary of State had already paid £5,369.84 of the total £8,632.02 owed under the protective award.
Decision
The tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for the unpaid balance of £3,262.18 representing wages due under the protective award made on 20 September 2024. Neither party showed cause why judgment should not be entered. The Recoupment Regulations apply.
Practical note
Where a protective award has been made for failure to inform and consult, and part payment has been made by the Secretary of State, judgment can be entered on papers for the balance against the insolvent employer.
