Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Noons, sitting with Mrs Ray and Ms Russel at Midlands West Employment Tribunal on 11 September 2024, made a unanimous decision in the case of Miss P Turns against Green Room Design Ltd (in voluntary liquidation). The respondent did not attend.
The Tribunal upheld the claimant's claims of automatically unfair dismissal and discrimination on grounds of pregnancy. Awards comprised £23,000 for injury to feelings (middle of the middle Vento band), £18,367.60 for loss of earnings and other benefits up to the date of liquidation, £396.72 in additional expenses incurred because of the discrimination, and £4,655.92 interest. No future loss of earnings was awarded because the company went into liquidation on 14 May 2024.
The Recoupment provisions apply with a prescribed element of £1,001 attributable to the period 2 December 2022 to 19 May 2023. The monetary element exceeds the prescribed element by £17,366.60.

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.
