Overview

• Weller’s lawyers issued a pre‑action letter alleging discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 after Harris and Trotter ended a relationship of more than 30 years.
• A WhatsApp message cited in the letter says the firm was offended by his statements that Israel is committing genocide and referenced the firm’s Jewish roots and many Jewish partners.
• The legal team argues his views about Gaza and recognition of Palestine constitute protected philosophical beliefs under UK law.
• Weller says he will donate any damages to humanitarian relief in Gaza and has requested details of similar client terminations by the firm.
• Harris and Trotter has not publicly commented, and Weller is scheduled to headline the sold‑out Gig for Gaza in London on October 17.
