Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M Ritchie brought claims against Royal Mail Group Limited, heard remotely and in chambers before Employment Judge S Shore with lay members Mr A Lie and Mrs J Maughan. The written record states that the parties later notified the tribunal that they had reached agreement on remedy, recorded in an agreement dated 13 August 2021.
The claimant's unfair dismissal claim was dismissed upon withdrawal. The tribunal also dismissed, at the end of the liability hearing, the claims of direct discrimination because of disability under section 13 Equality Act 2010, discrimination arising from disability under section 15, indirect discrimination under section 19, failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21, and victimisation under section 27.
Because remedy had been agreed, the remedy hearing listed for 14 September 2021 was vacated and neither party needed to attend. This written record does not set out any monetary award, and it notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the sending of the decision.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
