DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT 1992 - SECT 23

             (1)  It is unlawful for a person to discriminate against another person on the ground of the other person’s disability or a disability of any of that other person’s associates:

                     (a)  by refusing to allow the 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); or

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

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

                     (d)  by refusing to allow the 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); or

                     (e)  in the terms or conditions on which the first‑mentioned person is prepared to allow the 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)  This section does not render it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the ground of the person’s 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 person who would have to provide that access.
