Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Cadney sitting alone at Bristol on 15 August 2022 upheld Ms K Hutchinson's automatic unfair dismissal claim under s99 Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal also recorded a separate claim under s47C(2)(a) Employment Rights Act 1996, described in the judgment as a detriment claim, and dismissed it.
The tribunal further upheld the claimant's claim under s18 Equality Act 2010. On the extracted text, the judgment records that this discrimination claim was well founded, but it does not set out fuller factual reasoning beyond the statutory findings.
On remedy, the respondent in administration was ordered to pay a basic award of £730.76 and a compensatory award made up of £6,820 for loss of earnings and £500 for loss of statutory rights. The tribunal also awarded £9,000 for injury to feelings under s18 Equality Act 2010, giving a total award of £17,050.76.

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.
