Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal, sitting with Employment Judge T Coghlin QC and lay members Mrs BH Astill and Mrs J Malatesta, unanimously decided that the claimant’s pregnancy and maternity discrimination claim failed and was dismissed. The written record does not set out the tribunal’s factual reasoning because reasons were given orally at the hearing.

The decision record notes that written reasons would not be provided unless a request was made within 14 days of the written record being sent. No monetary award is recorded in the judgment.

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.
