Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a CVP hearing on 17, 18 and 19 June 2024 before Employment Judge Beever with Ms Fellows and Mrs Monaghan, the tribunal held that Miss Ashleigh Clennell’s claim of unlawful pregnancy and maternity discrimination under section 18 of the Equality Act 2010 was well founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £7,630, made up of £7,000 for injury to feelings and £630 interest.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant’s unfair constructive dismissal claim under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and dismissed the claim of discriminatory unfair constructive dismissal under section 39(7) of the Equality Act 2010. The claim of unlawful direct sex discrimination under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 was withdrawn by the claimant.

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.
