Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting at London Central on 23 March 2021 before Employment Judge A M Snelson and with no appearance or representation by either Respondent, found the Claimant's pregnancy/maternity discrimination complaint against the First Respondent well-founded. It awarded £7,500 for injury to feelings, £11,280 for loss to date, £1,996 for future loss, and interest of £450 on the injury-to-feelings award and £300 on the loss-to-date award, making £21,526 in total on that claim.
The Tribunal also upheld the Claimant's complaint of wrongful dismissal and ordered the First Respondent to pay £384. The complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages and of outstanding annual leave under the Working Time Regulations 1998 were both well-founded, with awards of £6,560 and £877 respectively. The judgment notes that income tax and national insurance may be payable in respect of the awards under paragraphs (3) and (4), subject to appropriate deductions being made and accounted for.
In addition, the Tribunal ordered the First Respondent to pay £2,419 pursuant to section 207A(2) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1992 and £1,848 pursuant to section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, described as four weeks' pay. The judgment was entered in the register and copies were sent to the parties on 30 March 2021.

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.
