Concert promoters MCD Productions have been ordered to pay €7,000 compensation to a cancer patient left "embarrassed” after two security staff refused her access to a disabled bathroom at a Paul Weller gig two years ago. Ms Hughes found that MCD was vicariously liable for the actions of the security staff. However, the day after the gig, Ms Davy emailed MCD to complain about her experience at the concert. She said she was refused access to the disabled bathroom facilities “despite the fact that I politely told the attendant I had a medical need to use it”. However, at the end of the gig, Ms Davy was refused access a second time to the disabled toilets by a different security staff member.
