Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously dismissed the complaints of unfair dismissal, automatic unfair dismissal under section 103A Employment Rights Act 1996, public interest disclosure detriment under section 47B Employment Rights Act 1996, direct sex discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and victimisation. The judgment does not set out separate reasons in the extracted text, but those claims were all rejected.
The tribunal upheld the breach of contract complaint. It ordered the respondent, Media 10 Ltd, to pay the claimant, Ms S Spiga, £1,118.19 in damages for breach of contract. No separate award was identified for the dismissed claims.
The respondent's oral application for costs, made on 21 November 2019, was dismissed.

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.
