Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Middlesbrough on 28 and 29 July 2025, Employment Judge Aspden found that the claimant’s complaint that the respondent discriminated against her by terminating her employment was well founded. The tribunal also found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed.
The tribunal dismissed the separate complaint that the respondent discriminated against the claimant by telling her that she would not be entitled to statutory maternity pay. The written decision is a short record of the outcomes and awards; it does not set out fuller written reasons, noting instead that reasons were given orally at the hearing.
The respondent was ordered to pay £6,951.58 in total. That sum comprised £6,450 compensation under the Equality Act 2010, interest of £425.52 calculated at 8% per annum from 1 October 2024 to 29 July 2025, and a basic award for unfair dismissal of £76.06.
Claims and outcomes
3 findings recordedThis case has mixed outcomes under at least one legal claim type. A tribunal can uphold some allegations and dismiss others under the same legal head, so rows below may represent separate issues or allegation groups from the judgment.
| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pregnancy and maternity discrimination | The written record finds that the respondent discriminated against the claimant by terminating her employment, but it does not spell out the protected characteristic in the short text. The maternity-pays complaint and the case context indicate this was treated as pregnancy/maternity discrimination. The £6,450 Equality Act compensation was not split between the discrimination complaints in the decision record. | Upheld | Pregnancy and maternity | — |
| Unfair dismissal | Basic award only; the judgment records no compensatory award for unfair dismissal. | Upheld | — | £76 |
| Pregnancy and maternity discrimination | The tribunal dismissed the complaint that the respondent discriminated against the claimant by telling her she would not be entitled to statutory maternity pay. | Dismissed | Pregnancy and maternity | — |

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.
