Chapter 9
Money already paid by the employer
[ch 9: page 83]Any compensation already paid by the employer as a consequence of the dismissal will be deducted from the tribunal’s award.
Redundancy payments are deducted (Digital Equipment v Clements [1998] IRLR 134), but only if the tribunal finds that there was a redundancy:
An employer terminated Mr Boorman’s employment, paying him an ex-gratia payment, which the employer claimed to be statutory redundancy pay. However, the Court of Appeal ruled that since there had been no genuine redundancy situation, the ex-gratia payment could not be deducted.
