Bosses ruled he was 'distracted because he was reading whilst walking' and sacked him for dishonesty.
A Stockton postman who was sacked for falling and injuring himself twice on his round, has lost an unfair dismissal claim against Royal Mail.
Paul Duffy first tripped on a path and fractured his shoulder. Then, about three months later, he slipped on a sledge in a driveway and broke his knee while reading his mail.
