Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal extended time for the pregnancy discrimination complaint on the basis that it was just and equitable to do so. It then found that Thai Express E1 Limited discriminated against Mrs Y Ruiz Ramirez because of pregnancy by dismissing her and by failing to place her on furlough. The respondent did not appear at the hearing.
The unfair dismissal complaint was treated separately. The tribunal found it was not reasonably practicable for the claimant to bring that complaint in time and that it had been presented within a reasonable time, but it still held that the unfair dismissal complaint was not well-founded and did not succeed.
On remedy, Appendix One records £11,000 for injury to feelings, loss of earnings and future loss calculations, and interest on those sums. The operative judgment orders the respondent to pay £20,466.24, although the appendix calculation totals £20,466.28.

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.
