Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Kate Matthews's claim against St James C of E Primary Academy and Medway Anglian Schools Trust. The judgment does not specify the causes of action comprising the claim.
The Tribunal had written to the claimant on 21 February 2026 warning that it was considering striking out the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claim appeared not to have been actively pursued. The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but she did not reply. The claim was therefore struck out. No monetary remedy was recorded.

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.
