Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal accepted, on the respondent's concession, that Ms Wood was a disabled person by reason of varicose veins and cardiac arrhythmia. It upheld her complaint under section 8 Employment Rights Act 1996 that she had not been given itemised pay statements, and it also declared that the respondent had failed to provide a statement of initial employment particulars under section 1 Employment Rights Act 1996. The section 8 award was left to a remedy hearing, while no award was made on the section 1 declaration because of section 38 and schedule 5 Employment Act 2002.

The remaining claims were dismissed. The tribunal rejected the automatic unfair dismissal claim, finding that Ms Wood was dismissed on 20 May 2018 for a reason related to conduct rather than for asserting a statutory right. It also dismissed the section 15 Equality Act 2010 disability claim, which alleged unfavourable treatment by dismissal and by dismissal without following fair procedure in accordance with good industrial relations practice, together with the claims for unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid holiday pay.

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.
