Legal Question in Disability Law in California
A theater in Santa Cruz County in California is having a premiere showing for a popular film.
During the movie, most of the seats our filled. Because of this, some patrons resort to using the seats reserved for the disabled despite not being disabled.
A disabled person walks into the theater with her elderly mother. Two seats are occupied by two individuals who clearly do not look disabled.
The disabled person and her mother ask the manager if they could ask the non-disabled patrons if they can move. The manager asks the two patrons to move if they are not disabled. They are not happy, but they move.
The manager sees that the customers are not happy about this, so he offers them free tickets after they have already moved.
The question is. Is the manager or the theater liable for damages, specifically for giving free tickets to the patrons after they have moved.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Liable for what and to whom? The manager acted appropriately and the disabled patron was able to see the movie. Offering the free tickets was not required and doesn't obligate them to give free tickets to others.
