Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was an interim judgment in Ms S Swierzbinska v Ravello Coffee Co Limited. The tribunal did not determine the merits of the pregnancy and maternity discrimination complaints. Instead, Employment Judge E Burns considered whether time should be extended so that the claims could be heard.
The tribunal decided that it was just and equitable to extend time in the case. As a result, the claimant's claims for pregnancy and maternity discrimination were permitted to proceed. No substantive liability findings or remedy award were made in this decision.

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.
