Claimant v Royal Mail Group Limited

The tribunal found the claimant was fairly dismissed. The respondent had a potentially fair reason for dismissal and followed a fair procedure. The dismissal fell within the band of reasonable responses available to a reasonable employer.

The tribunal found no evidence that the claimant was treated less favourably because of her disability. The reason for the treatment was not the claimant's disability but rather the respondent's legitimate operational or conduct-related reasons.

The tribunal found that while there may have been unfavourable treatment arising from something connected to disability, the respondent either proved this was a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim, or the treatment was not because of something arising in consequence of disability.

The tribunal found that any deductions from the claimant's wages were either properly authorized under contract, statute, or with the claimant's written consent, or alternatively no unlawful deduction occurred.
