Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Liverpool on 2 August 2019 before Employment Judge Robinson. The claimant was represented by a solicitor and the respondent did not attend. The tribunal recorded that the claimant's claims for automatic unfair dismissal contrary to section 99 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and regulation 20 of the Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations 1999, unlawful discrimination contrary to section 18 of the Equality Act 2010 in relation to the right to be accompanied, failure to provide terms and conditions, and holiday pay all succeeded.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £18,508 forthwith. The schedule broke that figure down as £6,750 for a compensatory award with 25% uplift, £1,050 for loss of the right to be accompanied, £1,200 for failure to provide terms and conditions, £1,200 for four weeks' holiday pay, £8,000 for injury to feelings, and £308 interest for February to August. The recoupment provisions did not apply.
The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. The judgment therefore records the outcome and remedy breakdown, but not detailed written findings beyond those listed in the decision.

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.
