Rita Kriba -vrs-africa World Airlines [2023] GHACA 19 (2 March 2023)
The Respondent's refusal to board the Appellant on account of her disability constituted unlawful discrimination in violation of her constitutional rights to dignity and freedom from discrimination. The justifications offered by the Respondent, including lack of advance notice and alleged safety concerns, were not substantiated and could not override constitutional protections. The breach of contract claim was not properly joined in the human rights enforcement application and was dismissed without prejudice.
