Earlier, when White US officers insisted that pubs kick out the Black soldiers, the three local pubs put up signs saying "Black Troops Only" in defiance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-27306053457405284812020-10-31T01:23:26.345-07:002020-10-31T01:23:26.345-07:00Hi Ron ,

It's described as a "common law obligation", which would imply that it's still in force unless it's been explicitly replaced by a law covering the same area; I don't know whether that has happened, though. Of course, there are laws banning discrimination on the grounds of any of the characteristics protected by the Equality Act, which would cover this case - but it would still leave open landlords randomly barring people because they didn't like their face, which this "common law obligation' would prevent.<br /><br />I also wonder about the "form" in which the case was brought and why it prevented a proper payout - sounds like bad luck, or bad legal advice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208751342393932882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-62662580544648900472020-10-30T04:23:39.092-07:002020-10-30T04:23:39.092-07:00Wow.
