Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Samantha Gwinji brought unfair dismissal and sex/disability discrimination claims against FCC Environment (UK) Ltd. The case was heard at Cambridge from 4 to 7 January 2021 before Employment Judge Michell, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by counsel. The judgment records that it was the unanimous decision of the tribunal.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim under s.94 Employment Rights Act 1996 because it was not well founded. It also recorded that the claimant's direct sex discrimination and disability discrimination claims were dismissed upon the claimant's withdrawal of those claims.
The remaining indirect sex discrimination claim was found not well founded and dismissed. The written record does not record any monetary award or other remedy, and it states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the decision being sent to the parties on 15 February 2021.

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.
