I'm wondering whether it is compulsory in the parking world to always employ at least one 'Rachel'.

@bazster ... that's fine except for item 4 - all small claims actions must be able to demonstrate how any specific claimed value is reached. A "finger in the air" £500 would likely be rejected.

It isn't "finger in the air".

Compensation for injury to feelings is specifically provided for under the Equality Act 2010.

Precedent sets out three bands for compensation for injury to feelings (depending on the serious of the discrimination), which are (with their current values):

Top: £18,000 - £30,000
Middle: £6,000 - £18,000
Bottom: £500 - £6,000.

Awards of less than £500 are considered too small to properly recognise injury to feelings.

Asda should consider themselves bloody lucky to have only the minimum claimed from them.

Thanks - I didn't know that.

If the Act has specific reference to compensation levels then item 4 stands.

It isn't the Act that has specific reference to compensation levels, it's case law. The three bands were established in a case in 2002, and the amounts were updated by a case in 2009. Googling reveals plenty of stuff showing that these bands are applicable for injury to feelings arising from the 2010 Act.
