Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis case, heard by Employment Judge G Tobin sitting alone by telephone on 6 September 2022, concerned Mrs Katia Stephanou Smith’s breach of contract claim against The Governors of St Anne’s Catholic High School for Girls. The tribunal recorded that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and that the claim had been withdrawn by the claimant.
Despite that withdrawal, the tribunal dismissed the breach of contract claim under rule 52 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment records that the judge was satisfied, under rule 52(a), that there would be a legitimate reason for the claimant to bring the breach of contract claim in the future. 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.
