He was told by the bank guards that “if he wanted to enter, he’d have to go in socks,” a spokesperson for the federal court said. At at about the time, he was asked to remove his shoes, there started to be a build up of mammoth crowd outside the bank because they found it strange.

The court in his judgement stated that the victim was made to suffer public disgrace and humiliation when he was compelled to enter the bank shoeless. The judge then asked the bank to pay £939 or $1,430 to the customer to compensate him.
