Pratt
Pratt is a disabled individual who brought attention to issues of discrimination faced by people with disabilities after being refused service at Countdown supermarkets while attempting to purchase alcohol. His case, stemming from incidents in 2019 where he was incorrectly presumed to be intoxicated due to his brain injury, was heard by New Zealand's Human Rights Review Tribunal in 2023. Despite not seeking compensation, Pratt aimed to challenge what he viewed as unfair treatment, highlighting the intersection of disability and societal perceptions. The tribunal ultimately dismissed his claim, ruling that the supermarket staff acted responsibly under the law.
