Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondents did not return an ET3 and did not appear or have representation at the hearing. The Tribunal awarded the sums sought by the claimant, noting that she produced documentary support for her claims and evidence about injury to feelings and future loss.
The Tribunal considered whether the claims against the second and third respondents, who were directors of the first respondent and were said to have carried out the discriminatory acts, were valid in light of early conciliation dates. The claimant applied to amend the claim to include those respondents. The Tribunal took account of the claimant's limited English and confusion about the Rules, and exercised its discretion to allow the amendment.
Against the first respondent, the Tribunal awarded notice pay and paid holiday totalling £446.23. Against all three respondents jointly and severally, it awarded £8,600 for injury to feelings and £10,757.69 for future loss of income, totalling £19,357.69 for that part of the award.

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.
