Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at a hearing on 17, 18, 19 and 20 July 2023 before Employment Judge Ayre with Mr T Fox and Mr M Lewis, gave a unanimous judgment on 20 July 2023. The claimant, Miss E Kabengele, brought claims against Roundabout Limited for automatic unfair dismissal, breach of contract, pregnancy and maternity discrimination, direct race discrimination, and victimisation.
The claim for automatic unfair dismissal was dismissed. The claim for breach of contract succeeded because the tribunal found that the respondent gave the claimant one week's notice of termination when her contract required four weeks' notice. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £1,355.65 net to the claimant by way of damages for breach of contract.
The claims for pregnancy and maternity discrimination, direct race discrimination, and victimisation were each dismissed. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested, so the published judgment records the outcomes and the contractual notice finding but does not set out fuller reasons in writing.

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.
