Claimant v Royal Mail Group Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard evidence over two days and determined that the dismissal fell within the band of reasonable responses available to the respondent employer. The claimant failed to establish that the dismissal was unfair under the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Facts
Mr G Edwards, representing himself, brought an unfair dismissal claim against his former employer Royal Mail Group Limited. The tribunal heard evidence over two days in September 2025 at the Wales Employment Tribunal. Oral reasons were given at the conclusion of the hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge Lloyd-Lawrie dismissed the claim, finding that the dismissal was not unfair. The tribunal was satisfied that the dismissal fell within the band of reasonable responses available to a reasonable employer in the circumstances.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant in the postal sector failed to demonstrate that Royal Mail's decision to dismiss was outside the band of reasonable responses test for unfair dismissal.
