A Christian doctor who was sacked after emailing a prayer to his colleagues has had his religious discrimination case rejected by the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
Dr David Drew (65) took legal action against Walsall Manor Hospital after he was dismissed for emailing a motivational prayer to his department, stating that his colleagues had made him feel like a “religious maniac” for circulating the message.
Last year, an Employment Tribunal ruled that the hospital had not acted unlawfully in sacking Dr Drew because discussions about religion should be avoided if considered “inappropriate.” The decision was upheld by the Employment Appeal Tribunal in a ruling this week.
