Dr Marita Warren accuses former employers of discriminating against her by reason of gender and family status, victimisation, and unfair dismissal
by pulling out of an alleged deal to make her an equity partner in their GP practice after she was hospitalised with complications during her pregnancy.
In January 2023, when she was five weeks pregnant, Dr Warren told the tribunal she decided to inform her employer about her pregnancy earlier than she had intended because she was about to go away on a trip with colleagues – whom she suspected might deduce she was pregnant. She was 24 weeks pregnant at the time, she said, describing it as “the outer limit of survivability for a baby”. She said she spent 13 weeks and one day on sick leave as a hospital in-patient before her child was born healthy in September 2023. She then started her maternity leave, which was to run until March 16th that year, she said.
“The tone of the meeting was not very pleasant,” Dr Warren said. She said Dr Lavin and Ms Moran “were upset and not themselves”, and that Ms Moran had “tears in her eyes”.
