Claimant v Bellway Homes Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that Ms D Vosper's claim for direct sex discrimination was not upheld. The tribunal determined that the respondent had not treated Ms Vosper less favourably because of her sex.
Both claimants' claims for unpaid wages were well-founded and upheld by the tribunal. The respondent subsequently paid the outstanding wages to both claimants (£901.25 net to Ms Vosper and £257.18 gross to Ms Sykes on 29 July 2024), thereby satisfying the claims with no further award required.
Facts
Two claimants, Ms D Vosper and Ms S Sykes, brought claims against their employer Bellway Homes Limited. Ms Vosper claimed direct sex discrimination while both claimants claimed unpaid wages. The case was heard over four days in July 2025 at the East London Hearing Centre.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed Ms Vosper's sex discrimination claim but upheld both claimants' unpaid wages claims. The respondent had already paid the outstanding wages (£901.25 net to Ms Vosper and £257.18 gross to Ms Sykes) on 29 July 2024, so no further awards were made.
Practical note
Even where wage claims succeed, if the employer pays the outstanding amounts before remedy, no further award is necessary, and claimants may still lose other claims such as discrimination brought in the same proceedings.
