Tribunal awards down; bank charge claims set to revive; ruling on missing credit agreement defence
Sack the RPI?
The RPI isn’t what it was. Consequently, nor is the annual review of employment tribunal award limits. The latest review gifts us the Employment Rights (Revision of Limits) Order 2009 (SI 2009/3274). When the axe falls after 31 January 2010 the unfair dismissal compensatory award limit goes down by £900 (yes, down) to £65,300. Two other limits—relating to trade union exclusion and guarantee payments—are also reduced. Three other limits remain unchanged. The amount of a week’s pay which is the tool for calculating redundancy payments, the unfair dismissal basic award and additional awards and the state’s liability to settle wages owed by an insolvent employer was exceptionally dealt with by the Work and Families (Increase of Maximum Amount ) Order 2009 (SI 2009/1903). This increased the amount from £350 to £380 as from 1 October 2009.
