There is more than one value - if in poor condition often less than what people pay for them.

Asking for a value borders on the how long is a piece of string question - it varies.

Small claims court might be the most effective way of establishing a lien on the debtor's goods (ie Lathe) for the non payment of the debt, you cannot just walk in and take it.

Kwil as an exemployee I know how he works, if I take court action he will most likely close that company and I will get nothing. I will tell him that I will take goods if he can not come up with the money he owes myself and an other.

If a company is trading and is not paying you then I have been told you can go for a Winding Up Petition. If they refuse to pay you then you can proceed to wind up their business. One website describes it as a nuclear guided missile. If it is, then it might be expensive to carry out.

Looked at that Steve but was cost prohibitive! Shame I had to leave because it was the best job I've ever had.

Once you get good at "the system" you can chuck these things at companies like BP and Coca-Cola

Just don't expect to be invited to the advocates xmas dinner or ever considered for high court jobs for the boys

If it is wages can you get the DHSS or job centre to intervene?

There was an old piece of legislation called the Trucks Act , which stated you had to be paid within a set time after your working period . Not sure if its still in existence , or if , like many others , its been repealed .

All this advise is well and good if you have the time and money to spare and it still doesn't guarantee you getting paid.

Steven Vine has the best idea.

Failing that find out what car he's driving, borrow one, swap the plates and belt thru as many red light and speed cameras as possible.

Plod has far more time and resources than we have,

I think the truck act was about getting paid in money, not coupons for the company store, so I guess taking his lathe breaks the truck act? I've been in the same position a couple of times, fact is if there is no money you are wasting your time. Standing around with a couple of big mates might help, but don't break the law, it's you will suffer.
