Claimant v Hospitality Management Services Limited

The tribunal determined that Hospitality Management Services Limited was the claimant's employer at the time of dismissal. However, that company entered liquidation on 29 January 2025. Under s.130 Insolvency Act 1986, a statutory moratorium prevents the tribunal from proceeding further. The claim was stayed before liability was determined.

The tribunal did not reach a determination on liability due to the liquidation of the first respondent and the imposition of a statutory moratorium preventing further proceedings.

The tribunal found evidence indicative of negative attitudes towards pregnancy (inappropriate questions at interview, exclusion from meetings after pregnancy announcement). However, liability was not formally determined due to the respondent entering liquidation and proceedings being stayed.

Claims of sex discrimination were brought but not determined on their merits due to the statutory moratorium arising from the respondent's liquidation.

The claimant was entitled to 3 months' notice but received only 2 weeks. However, the tribunal did not determine liability due to the respondent's liquidation and the stay imposed on proceedings.

Claims for unpaid pension contributions (£4,012.02 plus £1,000 awarded by Pension Ombudsman), holiday pay, and notice pay were brought. The tribunal allowed an additional claim for pension contributions to proceed but did not determine liability due to the liquidation stay.

Claims for unpaid wages, tronc payments, holiday pay, and pension contributions were raised but not determined due to the statutory moratorium preventing further proceedings.

The claimant raised issues regarding outstanding holiday pay. The tribunal did not determine liability due to the respondent's liquidation and the resulting stay on proceedings.
