Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Kathrine Crellen, was employed by the respondent, Deniz Atay, from 14 October 2008 to 14 May 2021 as a shop assistant. The tribunal recorded that she was dismissed without notice. The judgment on liability was issued under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because no response had been received from the respondent after service at two London addresses.
On the available material, Employment Judge Sweeney was satisfied that there was sufficient information in the claim form to issue judgment. The tribunal found that the claims for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal (notice pay), unlawful deduction of wages, untaken holiday pay under regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations 1998, and unreasonable failure to provide a written statement of the reasons for dismissal under section 93 Employment Rights Act 1996 were all well founded and succeeded.
The judgment was liability-only. The tribunal stated that it was not in a position to deal with remedy at that stage and directed the claimant to provide further information. The hearing listed for 29 October 2021 was converted into a remedies hearing.

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.
