Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs H Lawlor brought claims against The Heart of Hospitality Limited for notice pay, holiday pay, unfair dismissal, and direct and indirect sex discrimination. The hearing took place in Birmingham on 6 and 7 June 2022 before Employment Judge J Jones sitting with Ms S Fritz and Dr G Hammersley. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by its director, Mr M Maltby.
The tribunal recorded that the notice pay and holiday pay claims were dismissed following withdrawal by the claimant. The direct and indirect sex discrimination claims were dismissed. The written record does not set out the tribunal's oral reasons, but it records the outcomes of each claim.
The unfair dismissal claim succeeded. The tribunal awarded £3,077.25 compensation, made up of £3,025 for loss of earnings from 1 October 2020, when the notice period expired, to 12 April 2021, when the claimant started new employment, and £52.25 for loss of pension contributions at £9.50 per month for 5.5 months. The basic award was recorded as nil because redundancy pay had already been paid.

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.
