Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal had already issued judgment in favour of the claimant on 18 July 2023. At the remedy hearing, the claimant gave oral evidence and the respondent did not attend or send a representative.
The tribunal awarded £7,500 for injury to feelings for two pregnancy discrimination claims: failure to carry out a maternity risk assessment and dismissal. The judgment stated that the award was between the middle and upper end of the current lower Vento band.
The tribunal also awarded £540 for loss of wages from dismissal until the date the claimant would have continued working had she not been dismissed, calculated by reference to the difference between her wage plus Universal Credit while working and her Universal Credit after dismissal. Interest at 8% was added to the Equality Act sums, and separate awards were made for failure to provide written reasons for dismissal and written particulars of employment.

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.
