Claims made under the Insolvency Payments Scheme can only be processed if an employer is legally insolvent within the definition of the Protection of Employees (Employers' Insolvency) Act 1984. The employer in this case was not legally insolvent. No redundancy payment application has been received in respect of the individual concerned.
