On the evidence the court found respondent's asserted reasons (restructure/business reduction and performance) were not proved or were presented misleadingly; close temporal proximity between claimant notifying pregnancy and respondent recruiting Li to perform overlapping functions, absence of contemporaneous documentation for restructuring, and contradicted performance allegations permitted inference that pregnancy was one of the reasons for dismissal and for withholding the bonus; therefore respondent liable under SDO s8(a) and s11(2)(c).
