Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 July 2025
Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
It was a kind and thoughtful response, but it seemed in several places to conflate insolvency practitioners with employers. The two are very different things. For example, the liquidator usually has no prior knowledge whatsoever of the company they are dealing with. Some half of the letter talked about employer obligations, but the employer is no longer involved once a liquidation is called in. In any event, as I discussed in the Go-Centric case, this response did not reflect the reality of what happens in a liquidation.
