Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal’s unanimous judgment was that the respondent failed to comply with its statutory obligations in relation to Miss Philippou’s application for flexible working. It awarded compensation of £3,556 in respect of that claim.
The tribunal also rejected the claimant’s sex discrimination allegation, finding that the respondent did not indirectly discriminate against her on the ground of sex. The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because the tribunal found that the respondent did not dismiss the claimant.

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.
