Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously held that the claimant's section 18 Equality Act complaint of unfavourable treatment because she was on maternity leave succeeded only in the limited respect that the respondent took longer than it otherwise would have done to deal with the disciplinary investigation. The remainder of the section 18 claims failed and were dismissed.
The section 19 Equality Act claims were dismissed on withdrawal. The claim under section 47C of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was dismissed.
The claim for breaches of the Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations 1999 was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the claimant was still employed by the respondent. Remedy was left to a further hearing listed for 5 July 2021.

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.
