Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously found that Mrs D Kolowca's claim of direct sex discrimination, so far as it related to her dismissal, was well founded. The written record does not give separate reasons because oral reasons were delivered at the hearing and no written reasons were provided in the record.
On remedy, the tribunal ordered Birds Eye Marketing Ltd to pay £15,000 for injury to feelings and £7,960.53 for loss of earnings to date. It also ordered interest of £2,112.18 on the injury to feelings award, calculated from 17 November 2017, and interest of £558.54 on the loss of earnings award, calculated from the mid-point. The loss of earnings figure was stated not to fall to be adjusted.

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.
