Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss K Duke brought a breach of contract complaint against Covington & Burling LLP. The hearing took place at London Central before Employment Judge Wisby sitting alone on 6 September 2019. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel.
The tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to consider the claimant's complaint of breach of contract. On that procedural basis, the claim was dismissed. No substantive findings on the underlying contractual dispute were recorded in the written judgment.
The judgment notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. No monetary award was made.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
