Mrs C Muddle v Amity Blinds Limited and 2 others — 2021

The case was heard at London South on 26 to 30 July 2021 before Employment Judge Khalil sitting with Ms A Sansome and Mr M Cann. The tribunal recorded that the claimant, Mrs C Muddle, succeeded in her constructive unfair dismissal claim under sections 95 and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and in her wrongful dismissal claim.

The tribunal dismissed the remaining claims. It found that the claim for automatic unfair dismissal under section 99 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and Regulation 20 of the Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations 1999 was not well founded, as were the detriment claim under section 47C of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and Regulation 19 of the Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations 1999 and the claim for unfavourable treatment under section 18(4) of the Equality Act 2010.

Because the claimant succeeded on the dismissal claims and did not have an up to date statement of employment particulars when the claim was issued, the tribunal said an award was due under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 of 2 or 4 weeks' pay. The extracted judgment text does not set out the figure actually awarded, so no monetary total can be extracted from this record.
