Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal unanimously found that several complaints of pregnancy discrimination contrary to sections 18 and 39 Equality Act 2010 were well founded. These concerned the respondent's failure to adjust the claimant's hours, failure to find or explore redeployment, raising issues about references it had previously accepted, and breaching the fundamental term of trust and confidence due to discrimination because the claimant was pregnant, causing her to resign.
The Tribunal found that two other complaints of pregnancy discrimination were not well founded: that the respondent did not provide the claimant with a parking space, and that it notified her she would not be entitled to sick pay. Remedy was not determined in this judgment; a separate remedy hearing was listed for 4 March 2022.

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.
