Mr Raymond Donohoe v Buymyprint Limited (in liquidation) and 1 other — 2025

The Tribunal found that the Claimant was an employee of the First Respondent (Buymyprint Limited) at the time it became insolvent, with 13 years' service and a week's pay of £542.31 for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The First Respondent did not attend; the Second Respondent (the Secretary of State for Business & Trade) was represented. The Tribunal declared that the Claimant's claim for payments from the Second Respondent under section 182 ERA 1996 was well founded.

The Tribunal declared that the First Respondent was liable to make an employer's payment within the meaning of section 166(2)(a) ERA 1996, namely a redundancy payment of £10,575.05, payable by the Second Respondent. On complaints under section 188 ERA for payments under section 182, the Tribunal further declared that the Second Respondent ought to pay arrears of pay of £1,410.00 (s.184(a)), notice pay of £6,507.72 (s.184(b)) and holiday pay of £2,104.12 (s.184(c)).
