Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a CVP hearing in Birmingham on 12 March 2021 before Employment Judge Flood, the tribunal addressed whether Ms F Savu's claims had been presented in time. The claimant's unfair dismissal complaint, her complaint of suffering a detriment for a reason relating to pregnancy, childbirth or maternity, and her unpaid holiday pay complaint were all dismissed as having been presented after the expiry of the statutory time limit. The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for those claims to have been presented within time, so the time limit could not be extended.
The claimant also brought a separate complaint of discrimination on the grounds of pregnancy or maternity leave. That complaint was likewise presented after the statutory time limit, but the tribunal held that it was just and equitable to extend time to the date of presentation. The tribunal therefore accepted jurisdiction to consider that complaint and said it would proceed to hearing. This judgment recorded no merits findings and no remedy award.

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.
