Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis judgment determined preliminary and procedural issues in Mr M P Alexander's religious discrimination claims against Garratts Solicitors. The tribunal struck out the claim about emails dated 26 February 2021 and 15 April 2021 because it considered that claim had no reasonable prospect of success.
The tribunal did not strike out, and did not make a deposit order in relation to, the claim of direct religious discrimination in respect of dismissal. The judgment records that claim as remaining live, with no substantive finding on liability made in this decision.
The claimant also withdrew his claim of religious discrimination in respect of a reference, and that claim was dismissed on withdrawal. No monetary remedy was awarded or addressed in this judgment.

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.
