Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 9 August 2019 before Employment Judge Sage at London South Croydon, the tribunal dismissed the claimant’s detriment claim under section 47C Employment Rights Act 1996 as out of time. It also rejected the application to add a claim under the Part Time Workers (Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000.
The tribunal granted the application to amend to add indirect sex discrimination, and held that the claim under Regulation 18 of the Maternity and Parental Leave etc. Regulations 1999 was in time. The decision records those rulings only; it does not determine the merits of the amended discrimination claim or the in-time maternity and parental leave claim.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant’s redundancy payment and wrongful dismissal claims were dismissed upon withdrawal. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written record states that no separate written reasons would be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
