Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 10 November 2025 before Employment Judge Platt at the Midlands West Employment Tribunal by CVP, the respondent's application to strike out Mr R Walkden's claim was refused. The judgment records that the decision was given in public and that the claimant appeared in person, accompanied by his wife, while the respondent was represented by Mr Wishart, solicitor, and Mr Howley, its CEO, attended.
This written record does not set out any substantive findings on the merits of the underlying claim. It states that reasons were given orally at the hearing, and that written reasons will not be provided unless a party requested them at the hearing or makes a written request within 14 days of the sending of the decision.

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.
