The Labour Court awarded €12,500 to an unnamed graphic designer after finding that pregnancy contributed to her constructive dismissal from Emmerdale Ltd t/a Pendrix Display. The determination was dated 30 May 2002. The company said she left voluntarily. After she told it she was pregnant, it advertised her job and offered her work outside her profession. The Court found these actions, along with the rejection of her job-sharing suggestion, undermined trust and confidence and led her to resign.
