Claimant v The Validium Group Ltd

Outcome

Facts

This is a reconsideration application brought by the Respondents following written reasons sent on 22 July 2025 in two consolidated claims. The Respondents sought clarification on findings of fact made in the original judgment, specifically regarding paragraphs 73, 75, 99 and 214 of those reasons.

Decision

Employment Judge Young refused the reconsideration application on preliminary consideration under rule 70(1), finding no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked. The judge found the written reasons were clear and unambiguous, having set out all findings relevant to the issues determined, and that the public interest in finality of litigation required the application to be refused.

Practical note

Applications for reconsideration seeking clarification of findings of fact will be refused where the written reasons are sufficiently clear, as reconsideration is not an opportunity to re-litigate or seek additional findings not necessary to determine the issues.
