Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs S Milner withdrew her complaint of unfair dismissal, and it was dismissed on withdrawal. The parties agreed that there had been no termination or resignation and that she remained employed by Copper Cow Ltd.
The Tribunal dismissed Mrs Milner’s pregnancy or maternity discrimination claim concerning failure to invite her to work events in October and November 2023 and failure to permit her flexible working request by January 2024. It also dismissed her claims for unpaid holiday pay, arrears of pay and other payments up to 30 September 2024. The judgment states that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear those claims because they were presented outside the time period specified in section 123(1)(a) of the Equality Act 2010 and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. No monetary award was recorded.

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.
