Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Manchester by CVP on 23 August 2022, Employment Judge Ainscough heard from the claimant, Mrs E Hodgson, who appeared in person. The respondent, Red and Racz Ltd, did not attend. The written judgment records a decision dated 2 September 2022 and sent to the parties on 6 September 2022.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim. It held that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to submit that claim within the applicable time limit under section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim did not proceed.
The tribunal also dealt with the pregnancy and maternity discrimination claim as a preliminary time-limit issue. It held that the claim was presented within such other period as was just and equitable under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010, and therefore that claim would proceed. The judgment does not record any determination of the merits of that discrimination claim or any remedy 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.
