Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr R Kurn, brought a claim for £425.13 in unpaid wages against Kelly Culinaire Limited, which was dissolved. At the hearing on 9 March 2020, the respondent did not attend. Employment Judge Cheetham QC accepted the claimant's evidence that the sum was owed.
The tribunal noted the claimant's resignation letter, which had been attached to the ET3, and recorded that in it he said he had no claim over any of the respondent's assets. The claimant explained that this referred to his shares in the company, and that explanation was accepted. The judgment therefore records the unpaid wages claim as succeeding for £425.13.
Because the respondent company was insolvent and had been dissolved on 23 February 2020, the tribunal noted that the claimant would need to apply to the Secretary of State to recover the sum owed. No separate legal test was identified in the judgment, and no lay members were listed.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
