Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented on 22 May 2023 and the judgment records that the remaining claim was one of pregnancy discrimination. Earlier complaints about unlawful deduction of wages, statutory maternity pay and other payments were dismissed on withdrawal.
The tribunal considered striking out the claim and responses because they had not been actively pursued. None of the parties attended the hearing, and the tribunal found that the claimant and respondents had not complied with the case management orders or prepared the case for the listed final hearing.
Employment Judge Tsamados concluded that the behaviour of all parties was intentional and contumelious, and struck out both the claim and the responses under Rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. No remedy was awarded.

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.
