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's failure to inform and consult under TULRCA 1992. The administrators consented to the claim proceeding. The claimant was entitled to remuneration during the protected period.
The claimant was entitled to £10,605.13 under the protective award but only received £4,902.24 from the Secretary of State. The first respondent was ordered to pay the unpaid balance of £5,702.89 representing the shortfall in protective award remuneration.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Knights of Old Limited which went into administration. The administrators consented to a protective award claim proceeding. On 20 September 2024 the tribunal made a protective award. The claimant's weekly gross pay at dismissal was £824.66, giving entitlement to £10,605.13 during the protected period. The Secretary of State paid £4,902.24, leaving an unpaid balance.
Decision
The tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for £5,702.89 representing the unpaid balance of the protective award. The recoupment regulations apply. Neither party submitted representations as to why judgment should not be entered for the balance due.
Practical note
When an insolvent employer fails to inform and consult, claimants may recover protective award shortfalls not covered by the Secretary of State directly from the employer subject to recoupment regulations.
