House of Lords - Mann and Others v. Secretary of State for Employment (4975 words) |
 | This is a claim against the Secretary of State for Employment, as statutory guarantor of the obligations of an insolvent employer, for payment of remuneration awarded to employees on account of the employer's breach of its statutory obligation to consult with their union before dismissing them as redundant. |
| What this comes to is that the Secretary of State, in calculating the eight weeks for which the employees were entitled to the benefit of the guarantees, started with the first week in respect of which the employee claimed that arrears of pay were due and proceeded chronologically until he got to eight. |
| Furthermore, the Secretary of State is entitled to assume, in the absence of any contrary request, that the employee is content to accept the normal chronological method which he has, it seems, adopted for many years. |
