Regulation 17 Liability for compensation
Subject to paragraph (6), the cost of compensation to which a person is entitled under these Regulations is to be met by the compensating authority.
Subject to paragraphs (3) to (5), the compensating authority is to be ascertained from the first and third columns of the table in Part I of the Schedule.
Where–
the former employment fell within category D, E, F or G, and
in consequence of any amalgamation, merger or other arrangement the institution or university becomes part of another (the “successor establishment”) and ceases to have a separate governing body,
the governing body of the successor establishment becomes the compensating authority.
Where–
the former employment fell within category D or E, and
the institution closes and there is no successor establishment,
the local education authorities who provided the institution with assistance become, jointly, the compensating authority, and each is to meet that proportion of the cost which the aggregate of the assistance it provided during the three years preceding the closure bears to the aggregate of the assistance provided by them all.
Where–
the former employment fell within category F or G, and
the institution or university closes and there is no successor establishment,
the Secretary of State becomes the compensating authority.
Where the former employment fell within category C, the Secretary of State may–
require the governing body of the school to repay him any amounts paid by him in respect of compensation, or
accept from the governing body a single payment of a sum equal to the actuarial value of the total compensation payable, or
accept from them the payment of such a sum by not more than five annual instalments.
