Wigan taxi driver is fined for refusing to let a guide dog onboard

https://www.wigantoday.net/news/crime/w ... rd-4459651

A Wigan private hire taxi driver has admitted to refusing to allow a guide dog into his vehicle.

St Helens Council’s licensing department filed a case against Florin-Constantin Caliman after receiving a complaint by a member of the public.

Caliman of Alfred Street, Newtown, was prosecuted for failing to carry a disabled person accompanied by an assistance dog under the provisions of The Equality Act 2010.

After pleading guilty at Liverpool Magistrates' Court, he was ordered to pay an £80 fine, £120 costs and a £32 victim surcharge.
