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 as the employer failed to comply with its consultation obligations.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Knights of Old Limited which went into administration. The employer failed to comply with collective consultation requirements before making redundancies. The administrators consented to a protective award claim proceeding. A protective award was made on 20 September 2024 entitling the claimant to £8,878.67 for the protected period based on weekly gross pay of £690.41. The Secretary of State paid £5,523.28 from the National Insurance Fund.
Decision
The tribunal ordered the first respondent to pay the balance of the protective award of £3,355.39, being the difference between the total award of £8,878.67 and the £5,523.28 already paid by the Secretary of State. The recoupment regulations apply to this award.
Practical note
Where a protective award is made following an employer's insolvency, the tribunal will enter judgment for the balance owed after deducting amounts paid by the Secretary of State under the redundancy payments scheme.
