Employee Claims / Pension Issues for IPs

The rights of employees in insolvency proceedings are determined by a number of legislative provisions which derive from both domestic and EU regulations. Their entitlements include rights to be consulted, protection for their pension and claims against  the National Insurance Fund, HMRC and the insolvent company.

This course will examine these rights and the tensions that can arise between rights under employment law and obligations under insolvency law, from the perspective of an insolvent employer. We will also consider the obligations on insolvency practitioners when advising directors and when acting as an insolvency office holder.
