Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a rule 21 judgment after the respondent did not attend. It amended the respondent's name to Team Purple Hairdressing and Barbering Limited and found that Miss Bebbington's claims of automatic unfair dismissal under s.99 Employment Rights Act 1996, pregnancy discrimination under s.18 Equality Act 2010, failure to pay notice pay, and failure to pay holiday pay were well founded.
The tribunal declared that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed and unlawfully discriminated against by reason of pregnancy. It ordered £1,125 for past loss of earnings, £7,000 for injury to feelings, £250 for notice pay, £350 for unpaid holiday pay, and £500 under s.38 Employment Act 2002. Interest of £563.56 was also awarded, making a total award of £9,788.56. The recoupment provisions did not apply.

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.
