Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Cardiff by video before Employment Judge S Jenkins with Mrs F Betts and Mrs L Bishop, recorded that the Claimant, Mrs C Bridgeman, appeared in person and that the Respondent, Leah Limited (in liquidation), did not appear or have representation. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and therefore were not set out in the decision.
The judgment records that the Claimant succeeded in her claims for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, harassment of a sexual nature, unauthorised deductions from wages, and payment in respect of accrued but untaken holiday. The unfair dismissal award was split between a basic award of £416.67 and a compensatory award of £2,166.67. The harassment of a sexual nature claim was awarded £13,000 for injury to feelings.
The tribunal also ordered payment of £1,666.67 for unauthorised deductions from wages and £3,708.19 in respect of accrued but untaken holidays. Although wrongful dismissal was listed among the successful claims, the decision records no award on that claim. The total award recorded from the figures in the judgment is £20,958.20.

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.
