Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal decided preliminary jurisdiction issues only. It held that it had jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim under section 111(2)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 because it was not reasonably practicable for the claimant to present the claim within the ordinary time limit, as extended by section 207B, and the claim was presented within a further period the Tribunal considered reasonable.
The Tribunal also held that it had jurisdiction to hear the claims for discrimination on grounds of pregnancy under section 123(1)(b) of the Equality Act 2010, because the claims were presented within a period the Tribunal considered just and equitable. The judgment records that reasons were given orally and that written reasons would only be provided if 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.
