Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting at London Central before Employment Judge Stout on 13 February 2020, dealt with two contract issues between Miss Lucie Petrova and Dr Caroline Kniaz. It held that the Respondent was in breach of contract because the Claimant had not been paid for the whole of the one-month notice period to which she was entitled. The Tribunal ordered payment within 14 days of the hearing of the agreed sum of £1,170, representing the balance of that notice period.
The Tribunal also rejected the Claimant's further contention that the Respondent breached contract by not paying any additional sum for the period the parties were in New York between 28 June and 12 July 2019. No statutory discrimination or dismissal findings were recorded in the judgment, and the award was confined to the contract sum identified above.

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.
