Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at London South before Employment Judge Siddall with Ms E Thompson and Mr S Sheath, heard the claim on 29 July 2025. The Claimant appeared in person; the Respondent, Dyke Alehouse Ltd (In liquidation), did not appear and was not represented. The tribunal reached a unanimous decision on three claims.
The breach of contract claim, concerning one month's salary in lieu of notice, succeeded and the Claimant was awarded £1,197 net, calculated as £1,555 average net monthly salary less £359 already paid by the Respondent. The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because the Claimant did not have two years' continuous service. The claim of direct sex discrimination was found to be well founded and succeeded.
In respect of the sex discrimination claim, the Claimant was awarded a total of £9,400, comprising ten weeks' net loss of wages of £3,400 and £6,000 for injury to feelings. The total sum due to the Claimant across all successful claims was recorded by the tribunal as £10,597.

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.
