Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal held that Ms Hanna Merzouk's claim of unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 and the Maternity and Parental Leave etc Regulations 1999 was well-founded. It also upheld her claims for wrongful dismissal or notice pay and for unauthorised deductions of statutory maternity pay. The written judgment records the outcomes but not the oral reasons underlying them.
The Tribunal awarded £5,967 for 13 weeks' notice pay, £5,967 for three months' future loss of earnings from December 2024 to February 2025, £10,000 for injury to feelings, £1,720 interest on that sum at 8% over 785 days, and £218 for underpaid statutory maternity pay. The total monetary award was £23,872 gross. For recoupment purposes, the prescribed element was £5,967 for the prescribed period from 1 December 2024 to 1 February 2025, leaving £17,905 above the prescribed element.

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.
