Now a judge has rejected the promoter’s claim that there was insufficient time to deal with the issues which arose, reports BBC News.
District Judge Ian Avent said it was “slightly surprising” LHG Live, which has changed its name to Live in the UK, had not previously been asked to provide a BSL interpreter at a concert.
He said: “A considerably greater concern was the fact that Live appeared to have given no thought whatsoever to the possibility of deaf people attending one of their concerts and, therefore, to have given any consideration to what reasonable adjustments might need to be made.”
The promoter viewed Ms Reynolds’ request “more as a nuisance than something which they should have been proactively pursuing”, Judge Avent added.
He found that it sought to impose solutions in a “rather high-handed manner” and in a “vacuum of ignorance and understanding” as to any of the women’s disabilities and needs.
Following the ruling the women were awarded damages of £5,000 each for injury to feelings.
The NME has contacted the promoters for comment.
Meanwhile, Little Mix recently announced details of a new greatest hits album titled ‘Between Us’.
