Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting as a full panel at Teesside Justice Centre on 12 and 13 March 2025, found that the claimant's complaints of unfair dismissal and breach of the Working Time Regulations were well founded. Her complaints of pregnancy/maternity discrimination and direct sex discrimination were not made out and were dismissed.
On remedy, the basic award for unfair dismissal was calculated at £411.84 but was reduced in full by an equivalent £411.84 of redundancy pay already received, leaving a compensatory award of £1,235.52. The tribunal also awarded £720.77 for 63 hours (9 days) of unpaid holiday pay at £11.44 per hour. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total of £1,956.29.
The award is subject to the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996, with a prescribed element of £1,235 covering the period 29 September 2024 to 17 November 2024. Written reasons were not provided as the reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
