Hi, have a situation where a court awarded damages for unfair dismissal/bullying to an ex employee. The damages have never been paid to the ex employee. They did have a few breakdowns and has been struggling with mental health issues post the closure of the case. What avenues do we have to collect on these funds? the party concerned has very limited funds and cannot afford to pay a large % to a large law firm to chase this debt. What are the options here? the company in this matter is one of the largest employers in Australia and very well known.
Go back to court seeking enforcement orders.
How much is being chased, and how long ago?
It may be a letter from a lawyer may be enough to prompt payment. We can help with a letter.

If they have an enforceable judgment one of the easiest ways to force payment from a company is a statutory demand under the Corporations Act. Failure to comply is a trigger for liquidation. Fairly simple process to get the demand done but they are very technical and must be done correctly.
The possible catch is that COVID has pushed out the relevant timeframes. I’m unsure if the extensions are still in place.

Not to the lack of payment. It is potentially still relevant to the time frame under which they are required to a statutory demand.
