In the last five years, the Insolvency Service’s Redundancy Payments Services have paid £77,233,534.54 in statutory entitlements, in 173 cases where Deloitte was appointed the administrator or liquidator.

Of these cases, 20 cases resulted in protective award judgments totalling £6,930,864.72 paid from the National Insurance Fund.

Due to the number of cases, it is not possible to disclose how much was paid in each individual case so a total has been provided instead.
