DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE - SECT 9

Discrimination (palliative or therapeutic devices and auxiliary aids)

For the purposes of this Ordinance, a discriminator discriminates against
another person on the ground of that other person's disability if the
discriminator treats that other person less favourably because of-

   (a)  the fact that other person is accompanied by, or possesses a
        palliative or therapeutic device or auxiliary aid that is used by that
        other person; or

   (b)  any matter related to that fact, whether or not it is the
        discriminator's practice to treat less favourably any person who is
        accompanied by, or is in possession, and is the user, of such a
        palliative  or therapeutic device or auxiliary aid. (Enacted 1995)
