520			_aExamines the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) which has been gradually introduced over the last eight years but will come fully into force on 1 October 2004. Notes that s21 of the Act states that a service provider has to make reasonable adjustments to its practices, policies and procedures to provide alternative methods of making the service available. Explains there is a difficulty in understanding what is meant by the word reasonable. This is likely to be tested by the courts on a case by case basis. Other aspects to consider are the sanctions available to the courts under the DDA; the court may award damages including for any injury to feelings and it may make declarations as to the parties' rights.
