Overview

• Employment Judge Michael Reed found repeated name‑calling directed at Corleen Maynard amounted to unwanted conduct that created a hostile workplace.
• The tribunal said the term 'nutter' and other disparaging remarks were abusive enough to meet the legal threshold for harassment.
• The panel dismissed Maynard’s race discrimination claim due to insufficient evidence linking the conduct to her race.
• Royal Mail’s June 2022 internal investigation initially cast Maynard as the perpetrator, a report later declared void, adversarial and unfair on appeal by an independent casework manager.
• The ruling notes instances of bullying and unfair treatment toward Maynard, and testimony included claims co‑workers tried to get her in trouble and allegedly recorded her on their phones.
