Doesn't sound reasonable to me. The law doesn't cease to apply when a business finds compliance to be inconvenient. At least, it shouldn't.
- squiggleblaz 6y agoIndeed. "If it's as I hypothesise and they can't afford a loaf of bread, I think their stance is reasonable from the perspective that this could be used to starve them to death" You can always tell if something is reasonable by changing it from a company screwing an individual into an individual screwing a company. If an individual hurts a company to survive, we normally see that is illegal quite quickly. It's only when a company hurts an individual in order to make a profit that we struggle.
