Basically, people were given X months notice in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Obviously the contract provided for being paid for the duration of the said notice period. Unfortunately no pay was forthcoming not to mention outstanding expenses, cost of fares home, lost security deposits on apartments etc.
Eclipse have claimed inability to pay as NJI have not paid them. Ex-employees have no option now but to pursue whatever legal channels are open to them.
By the way, it should be pointed out that a lot of people suffered substantial losses in that they had to forfeit substantial rent/security deposits when they had to vacate their respective nests at the drop of a hat.
