Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld Ms A. Chelaru’s claim of automatically unfair dismissal under section 99 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It also upheld her claim that the dismissal was directly discriminatory because of pregnancy, contrary to section 18 of the Equality Act 2010.
The parties agreed compensation in the total sum of £16,737.83. The judgment records that this was calculated as £4,326.96 for past loss of earnings, £2,910.87 in respect of holiday pay, and £9,500 for injury to feelings. The tribunal directed that the sum be paid into the Claimant’s bank account on or before 15 August 2024.
The Claimant’s claim for future loss of earnings was dismissed. The tribunal said she had provided no evidence in support of that claim before the hearing and it refused her application to give oral evidence on that issue.

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.
