He told the woman: 'People like you shouldn't be let out'
A young woman with Tourettes was subjected to verbal abuse about her disability by the owner of a healthcare company in Bacup.
The court heard how at 2.30pm, the woman was visiting the supermarket with a friend when she had an involuntary arm tic and brushed past Halliday. He immediately turned on her, launching a tirade of abuse and smacking one hand against another in the playground taunt used to imply someone is disabled..
The court heard the director of Halliday Healthcare Ltd, admitted using the word 's**z' but denied any further words or behaviour which could cause alarm or distress. He was convicted after a trial. "It is all made worse by the fact he works for a healthcare company", she said. "The whole thing has been really distressing and he has dragged it out for as long as he could. He had more than one opportunity to admit what he had done.
