Claimant v Royal Mail Group Limited

The Tribunal found that the dismissal of the claimant was in contravention of Section 15 of the Equality Act 2010. The dismissal amounted to discrimination arising from disability, as the tribunal determined it was not a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The Tribunal held that the respondent failed in its duty to make reasonable adjustments under Sections 20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010. Specifically, the respondent should have found the claimant a part-time indoor role working three hours per day, which was a reasonable adjustment that was not made.

The Tribunal found the dismissal of the claimant unfair under Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal concluded that the dismissal was not within the range of reasonable responses available to a reasonable employer in the circumstances.
