Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondents did not present responses to the claim, and judgment was entered for the claimant under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On the papers before it, the tribunal found that the employer was in breach of the duty to give a statement of employment particulars under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, so that claim succeeded.
The tribunal also found that Miss H Wells was subjected to pregnancy and maternity discrimination under section 18 of the Equality Act 2010, and that she was automatically unfairly constructively dismissed under section 99 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. No monetary award was fixed in this judgment. Instead, the tribunal listed a 3-hour remedy hearing before an Employment Judge sitting alone on a date to be fixed.

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.
