This is Ketan Aggarwal, an autistic man who was repeatedly called ‘stupid’ by a gym instructor
The 30 y/o Londoner decided to sue Virgin Active after his complaint to the gym was ignored
He spent 2 years teaching himself law, with the help of library books and online resources
Representing himself in court, Aggarwal proved that he had been discriminated against
In a sweeping victory, Virgin Active was ordered to pay him a total of £1,390 in compensation
They were also ordered to issue a written apology, all Aggarwal really ever wanted
“It wasn’t about the money…” he publicly stated, but added that “it felt amazing to win”
