"A man with autism is taking supermarket giant Sainsbury's to court for refusing entry to his assistance cat.
Designer and writer Ian Fenn says the ban on Chloe, who helps him in daily life, is limiting his independence.
He says she helps him stay calm, but the supermarket argues that cats, unlike assistance dogs, present risks to food hygiene.
The case is so unusual that it might set a major legal precedent if the law needs to be examined by top judges."
Sainsbury's says it is working with an environmental health team to find out how Ian and his cat can visit safely.
