The Supreme Court dismissed the teacher's claim for additional compensation regarding work hours exceeding the standard 18-hour teaching schedule. The plaintiff argued that an unauthorized transfer to a higher-paid internate supervisor role caused damage, while the defendant contended the plaintiff earned more in the new position. The court ruled that since the new role offered higher pay, no compensable loss existed, and the plaintiff could not claim extra wages for unplanned hours.
