hello all,
I'm a newbie and really hope somebody can advise me!
A year ago my brother and I were made redundant by our employer of over 14 years during a TUPE process (that clearly didn't go in our favour!) - we were not paid any redundancy or notice/holiday by our (original) employer and so went to an employment tribunal which went in our favour. The 'redundancy' element was paid to us via the Nat.Ins. fund but we can only claim the notice pay/holiday element if the co. is 'wound up'.
At the moment the co. is dormant and a request has been submitted for it to be struck off. We've contacted companies house and advised that there is an outstanding ET and they've agreed to not let the co. be struck off before 14/08/14.
So, the problem we have is that we don't have the £1165 required to petition the wind up of the company.
I think we can get remission on the £220 court costs through an EX160, but are we doomed to lose the money owed to us if we can't raise the £1165? My brother is on JSA and I work but am low income/lone parent.
Any advice much appreciated.
