Disability: Website access suit can proceed

The Supreme Court denied a petition from Domino’s Pizza this week to block a lawsuit over whether its website must be accessible to the disabled, said Tucker Higgins in CNBC.com. The case was brought by a blind man named Guillermo Robles, who sued the chain in 2016 “after he was unable to order food on Domino’s website and mobile app using screen-reading software.” Domino’s had argued that the Americans With Disabilities Act “does not apply to online platforms that were not envisioned when the law was passed in 1990.” Last year, more than 2,200 federal lawsuits were filed over website accessibility.
