  • A company several friends work for is going in to liquidation, suddenly. This is something that’s happened to me previously. I’m keen to help friends avoid the situation I was in, which was naively thinking I’d get any money I was owed. Employees are being asked to return laptops - one friend is not complying and another is thinking of giving it back. I’m saying not to. Anyone know what the legal position is here?

    Can he refuse until he has been paid for the month in hand plus notice plus holiday?

    I always regretted not walking out with my Mac under my arm when this happened to me.

  • Anyone know what the legal position is here?

    Probably theft. The administrators may take steps to try and recover the company's property as legally they will be seeking to maximise the returns to the creditors.

    Seems a lot of potential hassle to keep a laptop.

  • It’s a 3k laptop that he will need as he’s going to now be freelancing with immediate effect. So far he’s not been paid for the last months work (I’m doubtful it will happen), so it’s bad timing to need to fork out to replace it right now 🤷‍♂️
