(A)���� The respondent Department (�the Department�) is liable to make a payment to the claimant in respect of redundancy pursuant to Article 201 of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 (�the Order�).

(B)���� The Department ought to make a payment to the claimant under Article 227 of the Order in respect of holiday pay and notice pay.�

(C) ��� The parties expect to be able to agree on the amounts of the payments due to the claimant, pursuant to Article 201 and Article 227 of the Order.� However, if necessary the proceedings will be re-convened for the purpose of determining the amounts which are due to the claimant.

The respondent was represented by Mr P McAteer, Barrister-at-Law, instructed by the Departmental Solicitors Office.

2.������ The Department is also the statutory guarantor in respect of the payment of certain other employment debts, including holiday pay and notice pay (see Article 227 of the Order), if the employer has been the subject of a winding-up order.� If the Department declines to pay pursuant to any Article 227 application, there is a right of appeal to an industrial tribunal.
