Like I needed another reason to avoid FR, they just handed me one.
... and that is why it's in the CAA Document
CAP 789 - Requirements and Guidance Material for Operators - Chapter 30, Section 8.
Quoting this if you've been separated from your child [by refusing to pay the family tax] seems to concentrate the minds of checkin and gate staff.
It's not law, and they can't be prosecuted for it, but it would be grounds for complaint to the CAA... which even FR would rather avoid.
