Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 19 September 2019, Employment Judge Corrigan sitting alone entered a Rule 21 judgment because the respondents entered no appearance and no response. The tribunal recorded that the First Respondent contravened ss 18 and 39 of the Equality Act 2010 by discriminating because of pregnancy/maternity leave.
The judgment does not set out any separate remedy, compensation figure, or apportionment between the respondents. It is limited to the finding of liability in relation to pregnancy and maternity leave discrimination against the First Respondent.

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.
