Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 7 and 8 October 2019, with a further hearing on 6 February 2020, Employment Judge Leach sitting with Dr H Vahramian and Mr G Skilling found that Mrs M Singleton had been subjected to direct discrimination because of sex contrary to s13 Equality Act 2010, and that she had been automatically unfairly dismissed contrary to s99 Employment Rights Act 1996. The written judgment records those outcomes without setting out a separate detailed factual narrative in the dispositive section.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant's compensation was limited to an injury to feelings award on the discrimination claim. The parties agreed the figure at £16,000, inclusive of interest from the date of the discriminatory act complained of, 6 January 2019, up to and including 28 February 2020. No separate basic award, compensatory award, or separate interest figure was recorded in the judgment.

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.
