Miss K Taylor
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt North Shields on 29 November 2019, Employment Judge Aspden held that Miss K Taylor’s complaint under section 127 of the Equality Act 2010, relating to breach of the sex equality clause implied into her terms by section 66 of the Equality Act 2010, was well-founded. The tribunal found that she was entitled to be paid £10 per hour for the period from the arrears day, 20 September 2013, until her employment ended, and that Rothbury Home Bakery Ltd (in liquidation) breached the sex equality clause by failing to pay that rate.
The annex to the judgment set out the arrears calculation for successive periods between 20 September 2013 and 8 November 2019 and totalled the arrears at £19,443.55. The tribunal ordered interest on that sum of £4,815.61, calculated at 8% per annum from the midpoint date used in the interest calculation to 29 November 2019.
The tribunal also made an additional award under section 207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 in respect of the respondent’s unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. The extracted record does not state the amount of that additional award, so the overall combined total is not stated in the written record provided here.

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.
