Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment by Employment Judge T. Vincent Ryan. The tribunal declared that Mr Adam Bladen victimised Miss K Watson and discriminated against her because of pregnancy. The judgment says the unlawful treatment included treatment on 15 June 2019 and failure to pay statutory maternity pay due before the termination of employment, which was effective when she received late notification that she had been dismissed on 8 April 2019.
The tribunal recorded that the claims succeeded under sections 18 and 27 of the Equality Act 2010. It did not list any further hearing, and stated that no reconsideration aside from any successful application was required. The judgment is brief and does not set out separate findings beyond the declarations of liability.
On remedy, the tribunal said this claim overlapped with the claimant’s claims in case 2406162/2019. It recorded that the claimant had been awarded £18,652.39 in relation to the overlapping period for injury to feelings, aggravated damages, interest, and compensation for financial losses, and for that reason no further financial award was made in this case.

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.
