Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 3 April 2025 before Employment Judge Hutchinson sitting alone, the respondent did not appear. The tribunal struck out the response because it had no reasonable prospects of success.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant's claims for unfair dismissal under section 99 Employment Rights Act 1996, pregnancy and maternity discrimination under section 17 Equality Act 2010, direct sex discrimination under section 13 Equality Act 2010, harassment under section 26 Equality Act 2010, breach of contract in respect of notice, and failure to provide written terms and particulars of employment all succeeded.
Remedy was not determined at this hearing. The judgment directed that remedy would be decided at a further hearing listed for 24 June 2025, with case management directions for the claimant to provide a witness statement and supporting documents by 1 May 2025 and to prepare the bundle for 23 June 2025.

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.
