Hungarian Blind Man Wins Case Against Retailer
"A blind man has won Ft 500,000 in compensation from food retailer Csemege-Match after the Budapest Court of Appeals affirmed a previous ruling that services may not be denied to blind persons in publicly operating stores, even if such persons rely on the help of a dog.

The plaintiff, Szilárd Szigeti, was barred by a security guard and the chief cashier from entering a store with his dog in October, 2009."
