Subject: Wages for Employees

I have been thinking about Ministry of Sound v World Online which Andrew Tettenborn mentioned on this list a few weeks ago. One of the points relied upon in that case is that an employee's right to wages is dependent upon his continuing status as an employee (and also presumably his being ready and willing to work).

Does anyone know of a case concerning an employer who locks out his employees (ie prevents them from working) but does not dismiss them? Is the employee entitled to wages or just damages?

Offlist is fine if you prefer.
