Access to premises

Premises, goods, services and facilities

(1) Subject to subsection (2), it is unlawful for a person to discriminate
against another person with a disability-

   (a)  by refusing to allow that other person access to, or the use of, any
        premises that the public or a section of the public is entitled or
        allowed to enter or use (whether for payment or not);

   (b)  in the terms or conditions on which the first-mentioned person is
        prepared to allow that other person access to, or the use of, any such
        premises;

   (c)  in relation to the provision of means of access to such premises;

   (d)  by refusing to allow that other person the use of any facilities in
        such premises that the public or a section of the public is entitled
        or allowed to use (whether for payment or not);

   (e)  in the terms or conditions on which the first-mentioned person is
        prepared to allow that other person the use of any such facilities; or

   (f)  by requiring the other person to leave such premises or cease to use
        such facilities.

(2) Subsection (1) shall not apply to a person who discriminates against
another person with a disability in relation to the provision of access to
premises if-

   (a)  the premises are so designed or constructed as to be inaccessible to a
        person with a disability; and

   (b)  any alteration to the premises to provide such access would impose
        unjustifiable hardship on the first-mentioned person who would have to
        provide that access. (Enacted 1995)
