court case

I recently attended the National Register of Access Consultants (NRAC) Conference in London.

This event covers everything Access related and features expert presentations from a variety of guest speakers.

What piqued my interest this time was a presentation by Unity Law regarding a case where the Court of Appeal had decided to treat ‘wheelchair users’ the same as ‘mother’s with buggies’ when it comes to occupying the wheelchair space on buses.  Originally the courts found in favour of the wheelchair user but the bus company appealed.
