To
the right is a photograph of Gareth Foulkes outside Chester County Court after
winning his DDA case against the owner of the Albion Inn in Chester.
Gareth had initially been told to leave the public house because he had his
hearing dog for the deaf, Hiro, with him. When he explained about the
Disability Discrimination Act to the staff, they said he could stay but would
have to sit in a separate area. The judge hearing the case found this
action to be in breach of the DDA.
