Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs V Gardner brought claims against Stuart McBain Limited that were heard in Liverpool on 20 November 2019 before Employment Judge Aspinall. The tribunal’s judgment was that the claimant was fairly dismissed.
The tribunal accepted the respondent’s case that the reason for dismissal was redundancy. It specifically found that the dismissal was not because of any pregnancy or maternity-related discrimination. No written reasons were provided in the record supplied, as the judgment states that reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
