Ms Sarah Price Second Claimant: Ms Melanie Howarth Third Claimant : Mr Kevin McManus First v Jean Price Natural Health Foods Limited Second Respondent: Jean Price — 2021

The tribunal at Manchester, before Employment Judge Mark Butler, dismissed Ms Price's pregnancy or maternity discrimination claim against both respondents. It held that the claim was out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time.

Ms Price succeeded in her remaining claims against the first respondent for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, unpaid holiday pay, unauthorised deductions from wages, failure to provide written reasons for dismissal under s.92 ERA 1996, and failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars. The judgment awarded her £1,090 basic award and £5,886.70 compensatory award for unfair dismissal, £1,046.40 for wrongful dismissal, £266.83 holiday pay, £348.80 for unauthorised deductions with a 25% ACAS uplift, and £356.40 each for the two statement claims. The judgment states Ms Price's total award as £9,354.53, although the listed components add to £9,351.53.

Ms Howarth and Mr McManus also succeeded against the first respondent on unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, holiday pay, and the two written-statement claims. Ms Howarth was awarded £3,034.08 basic award and £595.78 compensatory award for unfair dismissal, £1,774.68 for wrongful dismissal, £855.44 for holiday pay with a 25% ACAS uplift, and £674.24 each for the written-reasons and written-particulars claims, giving a stated total of £7,608.46. Mr McManus was awarded £6,803.49 for unfair dismissal, £2,430.72 for wrongful dismissal, £970.12 for holiday pay with a 25% ACAS uplift, and £821.08 each for the written-reasons and written-particulars claims; the judgment also makes preparation time orders of £328 to Ms Price and £820 to Mr McManus. The written judgment included an interest notice stating an 8% stipulated rate if sums were unpaid after 14 days, but no separate quantified interest award.
