Mr G Bocazzi For the v Mr J J Oh CORRECTED — 2023

At Croydon on 9, 10 and 11 August 2023, before Employment Judge Siddall with Ms N O'Hara and Mr M Marenda, the tribunal held that Ms M B Almiron succeeded in her claims under s.100 and s.103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It also recorded that the claim under s.38 Employment Act 2002 succeeded, and that the claim of direct discrimination because of sex contrary to s.13 Equality Act 2010 succeeded.

For the dismissal claims, the tribunal awarded a compensatory award of £1,545 for the period 22 January 2021 to 4 May 2021. That figure was calculated by reference to 15 weeks' loss of earnings at £200 net per week and 15 weeks' pension loss at 3% of £200 per week, with a 50% Polkey reduction applied to reflect the chance that the claimant would not have remained employed until 4 May 2021.

On remedy for the sex discrimination claim, the tribunal awarded £300 for loss of bonus, £120 for 12 additional hours' pay in October 2020, and £5,000 for injury to feelings, together with interest of £1,129.70 on the injury to feelings award and £46.22 on the other pecuniary losses. The judgment states a total award of £8,940.22, applies the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996, sets the prescribed element at £1,500, and the excess at £7,440.92; the extracted figures do not fully reconcile arithmetically.
