Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found the claimant's unfair dismissal claim under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay a basic award of £999.54. It separately dismissed the claimant's automatic unfair dismissal claim under section 99 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and her redundancy payment claim under section 164 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal also found the claimant's pregnancy and maternity discrimination claim under section 18 of the Equality Act 2010 well-founded. It awarded £12,000 for injury to feelings, £13,497.84 for financial losses, and £1,831.53 in interest, making a total award of £28,328.91.
The judgment records that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseekers Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 do not apply.

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.
