The complainant, who had AIDS, alleged that the respondents discriminated against him by refusing him service and providing him with unequal treatment (such as serving him with plastic utensils instead of regular china) at their restaurant.
The Board of Inquiry found that the complainant and his wife were credible witnesses and that the respondents had discriminated against the complainant because of his handicap.
The corporate respondent was ordered to pay $4,500 in general damages, with the individual respondent jointly and severally liable for $1,500 of that amount.
