Astill heard the claims brought by Ms Edwina Roughton-Powell against LRCH Limited. The tribunal held that her claim of constructive unfair dismissal was well founded and succeeded. It awarded a basic award of £3,264 and £500 for loss of statutory rights, making a total award of £3,764, and recorded that no further compensatory award was made.
The tribunal dismissed the claim for automatic constructive unfair dismissal. It also dismissed the direct disability discrimination claim and the claim for harassment related to disability.

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.
