Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that Ms N Barney had been continuously employed by Amersham and Windsor Carriage Company Ltd from June 2012 until 20 September 2019. The case was heard at Watford on 26 and 27 July 2021 before Employment Judge Quill, sitting with Ms G Bhatt and Ms J Beard. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
The only monetary award made was £1,092.84 gross as damages for breach of contract, identified as a shortfall in payment in lieu of notice. The tribunal said the award could be satisfied by paying the claimant the net sum after PAYE deductions if the respondent properly accounted for the sums to HMRC and gave the claimant an itemised breakdown; otherwise the gross sum was payable.
The remaining complaints were dismissed. These were a breach of contract claim seeking full pay for the period from 29 March 2019 onwards, complaints alleging breach of the sex equality clause, and a complaint of unfair dismissal.

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.
