created to protect people from getting discriminated. In this case the café bistro owner will be
filled law suit for making a disabled person feel uncomfortable. He did not realize but Tom
was accused and made fun of, due to reaction of restaurant towards him. punishment for
doing such is up to 6 months till 5 years of imprisonment.3 In case of other three friends
which are Jenny, Dimitri and Paulo they were discriminated as well. in the general guideline
of equality act, any person who is not performing any illegal task or inappropriate behavior in
a restaurant can be asked to leave the place as it’s making people uncomfortable or due to any
other reason one shall be asked to leave such place immediately.
b)What exact duty imposing on the bistro in relation to all four friends.
The basic duty of restaurant is to provide correct facility to all for friends. First in the
case of tom, the you should have helped him in using the washroom facility correctly. The
barriers which word stopping him to do so should have had been removed. 2nd in case of
Jenny, was asked to feed baby outside the restaurant due to other people getting
uncomfortable of this act. Breastfeeding is the most natural procedure in the world and is
nothing to make anyone uncomfortable. If it was such a big issue that could have had given
her another space to do so or let it be as it’s literally pointless to ask a mother for feeding her
baby on road. In the third case of Dimitri and Paulo, who are gay couples. They were
expressing their love for each other in bistro, they were creating issues which were not even

this law. One cannot stop a women to do so as it one the most natural thing on earth and any
person can be punished to do so. One has to create issues related to any other matter but
apart from this. The café should become more careful before making any decision they can
file complain against them. That is exactly and law of exemption where is any woman is
asked to cover up while feeding her child is considered illegal in nature. So in this case it was
illegal for the restaurant owner. Jenny and a proper law suit will be filed over the owner of
café. The owners needs to properly apologize from Jenny and shall not repeated again as
these are punishable by law.
d) In the acts provided in equality act, what reasonable adjustments could have been created
to help Tom use washroom facility.
The reasonable possible adjustments which the restaurant should have had put
performed was to give him the correct facility in the meantime. They should not make them
feel discriminate and which was the reason of her filing a case upon them. This concept is a
very big issue in the society and after it would inducted in equality act in Euros 2010 many
people criticized this but ultimately understood why such laws are created in favor of
protecting women who are mother’s and feed their child. They should not be felt
uncomfortable and in case of such event the women can file complaint.

showed affection in public towards Each other.5

same gender are being discriminate in this modern era. First of all there was no mistake from
the side of any of the friend provided in this case. Second, new person in liable to judge any
individual on the basis of life's choices they have chosen and people there hanging out with.
even the government has created many laws to protect them. It’s creating many issues as they
can be asked to look at each other in different way. A protection degree of legal protection
