The maximum BASIC AWARD for unfair dismissal is the same figure — art 153(1) to (3) repeats art 197(1) to (3) word for word and art 23(1)(a) caps it at the same sum — which is why one record answers both. The Order states no maximum: it is published as a derivation from the capped week's pay and recomputed by the build.",

    "scope_note": "A CEILING reached only by an employee with twenty or more reckonable years all served at or after forty-one and a week's pay at or above the statutory limit; every other case is less. Northern Ireland only — the GB maximum (`employment.redundancy.max_payment`) rests on a different Order with a different base and is never coupled to this one, and the two sums genuinely differ. The limbs are `employment.ni_rights.weeks_pay_cap` and the multipliers art 197 states; this record is only their product (D14), and the build refuses a build in which they disagree.",
    "notes": "Not a figure any document states, which is why it is a derivation and not a carry. No GOV.UK page states the Northern Ireland limits (guidance is on nidirect and nibusinessinfo, outside OFFICIAL_B_DOMAINS), so like every other `ni_rights` row this one has no guidance source; both limbs are cited as legislation instead. No matching invariant is declared on `ni_rights.weeks_pay_cap`: FM-7 already recomputes this derivation at every build, and a declared identity saying the same thing would be the silent duplicate ADR-0012 step 4 removed elsewhere. Read from the archived current view of the Order (2026-09-08): arts 197(1) to (3) carry no F-note at all — every F-note on art 197 comes from S.R. 2006/261 and touches only paragraphs (4), (5), (6) and (8) — so the multipliers are 1996 text as enacted.",
