Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the claim brought against the third respondent on withdrawal. It upheld the pregnancy discrimination claim against the first and second respondents and held that they were jointly and severally liable for the remedy relating to that complaint. It also upheld claims against the first respondent only for failure to provide written reasons for dismissal under section 92 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and for failure to provide a written statement of particulars.
On remedy, the tribunal awarded compensation for the discriminatory dismissal, including past losses, future losses, and injury to feelings, together with interest at 8%. The written reasons claim attracted two weeks' gross pay, £668.80, and the written statement of particulars claim attracted four weeks' gross pay, £1,337.60. The judgment records a total award of £24,375.37, with £22,368.97 jointly and severally recoverable from the first and second respondents and the remaining £2,006.40 payable by the first respondent alone. Recoupment did not apply.
The remedy section also sets out the discrimination-related loss figures and interest figures separately. The extracted text contains an internal arithmetic inconsistency between the stated loss total and the final allocated discrimination sum, so the figures should be read as recorded in the judgment rather than recalculated.

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.
