Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 22 May 2020 the tribunal had already struck out the respondent's response and entered judgment for Miss Ellis on her claims for discrimination on grounds of pregnancy or maternity, breach of contract for notice pay, holiday pay and arrears of pay. The remedy hearing was then held by video on 24 June 2020; the respondent did not attend, and the claimant gave evidence and relied on her witness statement and schedule of loss.
The tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence and made an award for income loss of £5,311.90 after deducting non-recoupable benefits. It also awarded £6,872.00 for other statutory rights, made up of £1,100.00 holiday pay and £5,772.00 statutory maternity pay. The compensatory award before interest was £12,183.90, and interest on that award was £301.54.
For non-financial loss, the tribunal awarded £12,000.00 for injury to feelings and interest of £1,362.41 at 8%. The total sum ordered to be paid by Ecoames Ltd was £25,847.85.

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.
