Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal unanimously dismissed the claimant's Equality Act claims. The maternity and pregnancy discrimination claim under section 18, the direct pregnancy discrimination issues at 4.16.1 and 4.16.2 under section 13, the victimisation claim under section 27, and the sexual harassment claim under section 26(2) were all found to have been brought outside the section 123 Equality Act 2010 time limit, with no just and equitable extension granted.
The Tribunal separately found that the direct pregnancy discrimination issues at 4.17.1 and 4.17.2 under section 13 were not well founded and dismissed them. The written judgment records that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would only be provided if requested.

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.
