Cabbie banned for guide dog bar
A cab driver who refused to let a blind customer bring
her guide dog into his car has been disqualified from
driving.

Liakath Ali, 21, shouted "no dog" at Paula Thomas, of
London, leaving her distraught as she tried to enter
the taxi, Westminster magistrates heard.

It has been compulsory for licensed taxi drivers to
carry guide dogs since the Disability Discrimination
Act 1995.

Ali, of Woodstock Road, Bedford, was banned for seven
days for refusing to carry a person with a guide dog.

District Judge Quinton Purdy rejected Ali's claim he
has an allergy to dog hair and told him he behaved
disgracefully.

Mr Quinton said: "You knew they wanted a cab and
offered no explanation at all.

"Your own doctor acknowledged no apparent problem with
you."

The hearing heard how Mrs Thomas and her husband
Stephen, from Walthamstow, had left Highbury and
Islington station in July last year to get a
pre-booked
cab, having informed the firm's controller of the
guide dog - a black Labrador called Saddler.

The allocated taxi was driven by Ali who refused them
entry.

They could only continue their journey when a passing
police officer flagged them down another taxi.

In addition to the ban, Ali was ordered to pay £200
costs and a £200 fine.
