Easyjet sued for refusing disabled

http://connexionfrance.com/easyjet-d...w-article.html

FRANCE'S anti-discrimination body, the Halde, has begun legal action against Easyjet for refusing a disabled passenger who was travelling alone.
Marie-Patricia Hoarau, from Fréjus in the Var, who has been paraplegic since a cycling accident 19 years ago, was made to get off an Easyjet flight from Paris to Nice in March and told she could not travel alone.
Another traveller offered to accompany her but crew reportedly refused because the two passengers had not boarded at the same time.
