Robert Pugh

Robert Pugh was the judge who presided over the legal adoption of Nicky and Sarah Louise Tilsley by Martin Platt in 1991. The focus of the informal session at the family court was the children's views on Martin becoming their father, primarily Nicky who was the eldest. Nicky told the judge that he didn't mind Martin adopting him but that his grandma Ivy Brennan hated Martin. Determined that her late son Brian's children would remain Tilsleys, Ivy had recently met with social worker Kathy Green to contest the adoption, but despite her interference, the judge approved the adoption and Nicky, Sarah Louise and David changed their surnames to Platt.
