Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant brought complaints of unlawful deduction from wages, pregnancy and maternity discrimination, and failure to provide updated particulars of employment. The hearing was held by CVP at London (South) on 4 November 2025 before Employment Judge Fredericks-Bowyer sitting alone, with the Claimant in person and Ms T Clarke (the owner) for the Respondent.
The Tribunal found that the Respondent had made an unlawful deduction from the Claimant's wages in May 2023 (£175). It also upheld the complaint of pregnancy and maternity discrimination, ordering compensation for losses arising from discrimination of £5,460 and compensation for injury to feelings of £1,500. The Tribunal further found that the Respondent had failed to furnish the Claimant with updated particulars of employment following a contractual variation, and ordered statutory compensation of 2 weeks' wages amounting to £360.
The total amount the Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant was £7,495. The Claimant was given liberty to apply to amend the name of the Respondent for enforcement purposes.
