Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a rule 52 judgment on withdrawal, not a merits decision. The tribunal recorded that the complaints of pregnancy/maternity discrimination and indirect sex discrimination were dismissed because the claimant withdrew them. No remedy was recorded for those dismissed complaints.

The judgment also recorded that the complaints of unfair dismissal, direct sex discrimination, and less favourable treatment of a part-time worker were not withdrawn and would continue to hearing. Those claims were therefore not determined in this judgment.

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.
