Coupon-mad

Same thing's just happened to us. Disabled person, disabled space, no blue badge (prvate land), £90 charge from UKCPS. Wife will be complaining bitterly to the restaurant tomorrow and quoting the Equality Act.

Good, make sure she knows the basics of the law, protected people and their right to use 'reasonable adjustments' unharassed, as cited by the posters on those threads I linked earlier. I seem to remember you from my couponing days on here, rdwarr, so I am sure you and your good lady are up to speed with this too.

Let us know what their reaction is. Do you fancy filing a small claim over it if the disability is long-term and covered by the Act? Monetary damages could be rather nice and they would have to sit up and take notice! Just make sure the claim would be aimed at whoever contracted the PPC (which could be a landowner/managing agent rather than the restaurant) as well as the PPC.

Dont just speak to them

Put it in writing and contact the land owner to, quoting and issue an a notice before action
