An Uber driver has been forced to pay compensation after he refused to take a blind passenger and his guide dog.

The cabbie, who was licensed in Wakefield, breached the Equality Act by not taking the customer, a council report said.

The driver, who has not been named by the local authority, admitted the offence at court in January.

He was ordered to pay the victim £100 in compensation and told to fork out £466.44 in costs following the incident, which took place last summer.

He was also given a six month conditional discharge, meaning he will face no further punishment unless he commits a further offence before July.

Name must be in the public domain anyway if he was prosecuted in court.

people get less for serious injuries

but maybe the prospect of £100 which lets face it is probably more than a nights takings being handed out might put a few off if they are aware of it

Indeed, so one wonders why the council didn't name him.
