The claimant, Andrea Wainwright, had worked at Cennox plc for 17 years, most  at her effective date of termination in September 2019 after a return to work after time off sick, having being diagnosed with breast cancer and going on sick leave in 2018.

Now an Employment Tribunal has awarded a claim of £1.2m for loss of earnings following the claimant’s win at appeal, a decision released last August

The facts in this appeal, held last year, were that following her cancer diagnosis, when Wainwright was off sick, a colleague temporarily stepped in to her role at the Camberley office in Surrey.
