Okhiria v Royal Mail: EAT 8 Jul 2014

EAT Unfair Dismissal : Reasonableness of Dismissal – Postal worker dismissed for misconduct (dishonesty). Claim of unfair dismissal unsuccessful. The Tribunal was satisfied that there had been a fair investigation by the employer, founding a genuine belief in the dishonesty alleged, and that the disciplinary and internal appeals processes had been fairly conducted.
The Grounds of Appeal asserted that the Tribunal’s conclusions were ‘perverse’. Neither ground came anywhere close to establishing any such error.
Claimant’s appeal dismissed.
