Im Also Not Sure What To Think

[bednobs]

following cassas question last year
https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1607873.html i see that it's been thrown out of court AND the mum has to pay some of the theme park's legal fees.
i think i agree ith the decision - how about you?

I think the Court was probably more professional in their language than that.

She's lost, she accepts that and some good has come from it elsewhere.

at the end of the day it publicises real issues for real people that people without these issues often forget, which is good in its own way

well
re-read the article - not very easy, lots of pop-ups about bear cubs being adopted by buffalo etc
and it said no win no fee by a firm specialising in disability cases

and yes an over riding principle seems to be that businesses shold pay attention to disability and not have to cater for absolutely everything
kinda sensible

when the bill passed parliament ( ha! ) they declined to provide a commissioner ( so what the average Aber will say)
and that means - unlike others - race, equality, sex, licensing trading standards etc
there isnt a central office you refer to
and the civil servant says o yes yes we will bring the case at our own cost....

so the lucky litigant has to bring the case herself
and every now and then it goes terribly wrong

costs in these things usually follow the doo-dah ....
( loser pays both sides - not criminal by the way)
£9k strikes me as lenient

[my union took my employer to court all the while saying nooooo you are wrong and we are right and this will cost biggo! result: employer ( nationalised of course NOT his own money) paid us £250k]

This was really just about compo (no doubt drive by pond life ambulance chasing lawyers), right decision made for once by the Court.
