    " (A.k.a disability discrimination - failing to provide reasonable adjustments for someone with a long term disability)."

    to

    i.e. indirect discrimination of those shoppers with protected characteristics, due to a failure by the operator to meet their statutory duty of 'reasonable adjustments' which include a requirement to provide a method for disabled motorists to be allowed more time. This duty is explained further in the statutory EHRC Code of Practice for Services and Public Functions and the court must note that traders cannot justify a fixed time policy by saying that they didn't know about an individual's needs. That's not a valid justification for indirect discrimination against disabled shoppers 'at large' for whom it is likely that an extended time period is needed, compared to able-bodied motorists.

    Thank you so much for your help @Coupon-mad and everyone else who has contributed to this thread

    So my final draft is looking like this then including the template points:

    3. The defendant was legitimately shopping in the Aldi store on Church Farm, Warrington with their elderly Father who suffers with diabetes. According to the claimant, EuroCarParks , the defendant stayed in the car park for 103 minutes on this date. The father of the defendant suffered from a hyperglycaemic episode at the time, feeling faint and tired so required immediate attention which could be considered cause for frustration of contract. Furthermore, any pursuit by the claimant could also fall within breach of the Equality Act 2010 i.e. indirect discrimination of those shoppers with protected characteristics, due to a failure by the operator to meet their statutory duty of 'reasonable adjustments' which include a requirement to provide a method for disabled motorists to be allowed more time. This duty is explained further in the statutory EHRC Code of Practice for Services and Public Functions and the court must note that traders cannot justify a fixed time policy by saying that they didn't know about an individual's needs. That's not a valid justification for indirect discrimination against disabled shoppers 'at large' for whom it is likely that an extended time period is needed, compared to able-bodied motorists.


    So I add this into the template 1-10 points and submit to MCOL and wait ? Please let me know if there's any final thoughts or tips before doing so
