Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Cotton sitting alone by CVP on 11 December 2023. The judgment records that the claimant's unfair constructive dismissal claim was dismissed following her withdrawal of that claim. No remedy was awarded on that claim.
The tribunal also considered the claimant's pregnancy/maternity discrimination and sex discrimination complaints concerning events between 7 June 2021 and 5 July 2021. It held that those complaints were presented outside the primary time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. On that basis, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear that part of the claim and dismissed it.

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.
