I do not mean to offend fellow human beings who are unfortunate to be disabled in some way but I wonder as a lay person, if the award in this case sets legal precedents and extends beyond this case. Perhaps a forum member with a legal background can answer some questions that I have.
If this sets case law and precedents have been set, will this judgement also be applicable to all businesses in the future ?. For example can someone go to an out of town shopping mall and request that they be provided with a wheel chair to get around the mall ?. Can some one enter the local library and request a wheel chair to get around the library?.
I also believe that the award against Ryanair included the sum of £200 to allow the passenger to buy a wheel chair. Why ?, surely if he required one having been disabled since birth he would have been provided with one or had purchased one himself.
