<P><BR>BBC NEWS<BR>Cabbie banned for guide dog bar<BR>A cab driver who refused
to let a blind customer bring<BR>her guide dog into his car has been
disqualified from<BR>driving.<BR><BR>Liakath Ali, 21, shouted "no dog" at Paula
Thomas, of<BR>London, leaving her distraught as she tried to enter<BR>the taxi,
Westminster magistrates heard.<BR><BR>It has been compulsory for licensed taxi
drivers to<BR>carry guide dogs since the Disability Discrimination<BR>Act
1995.<BR><BR>Ali, of Woodstock Road, Bedford, was banned for seven<BR>days for
refusing to carry a person with a guide dog.<BR><BR>District Judge Quinton Purdy
rejected Ali's claim he<BR>has an allergy to dog hair and told him he
behaved<BR>disgracefully.<BR><BR>Mr Quinton said: "You knew they wanted a cab
and<BR>offered no explanation at all.<BR><BR>"Your own doctor acknowledged no
apparent problem with<BR>you."<BR><BR>The hearing heard how Mrs Thomas and her
husband<BR>Stephen, from Walthamstow, had left Highbury and<BR>Islington station
in July last year to get a<BR>pre-booked<BR>cab, having informed the firm's
controller of the<BR>guide dog - a black Labrador called Saddler.<BR><BR>The
allocated taxi was driven by Ali who refused them<BR>entry.<BR><BR>They could
only continue their journey when a passing<BR>police officer flagged them down
another taxi.<BR><BR>In addition to the ban, Ali was ordered to pay
£200<BR>costs and a £200 fine.<BR><BR>Story from BBC NEWS:<BR><A
