Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a telephone preliminary hearing on 17 January 2024, Employment Judge Hughes recorded that terms of settlement had been reached through ACAS in relation to the Second Respondent, and the claim against that respondent was dismissed on withdrawal. The judgment also determined that the claim should not be struck out as out of time.
The tribunal extended time because it found that it was not reasonably practicable for the claim to be presented in time and that it was presented within such further period as was reasonable. No separate lay members are listed in the judgment.
The claimant's breach of contract claim in respect of contractual maternity pay was found well founded against the First Respondent. The First Respondent was ordered to pay damages of £1,616.13 gross. The judgment does not record any separate award for basic award, compensatory award, injury to feelings, or interest.

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.
