Summary: | Id. at 907-908. [...]the Ninth Circuit concluded that design compliance with WCAG 2.0 standards could be imposed as an equitable remedy, even if it was not expressly required by law (yet). Specifically, the court explained that although it understands why Domino's wants the DOJ to issue specific guidelines for website and mobile app accessibility, "the Constitution only requires that Domino's receive fair notice of its legal duties, not a blueprint for compliance with its statutory obligations." [...]because Domino's received fair notice that its website and app "must provide effective communication and facilitate 'full and equal enjoyment' of Domino's goods and services to its customers who are disabled," the district court erred in holding that imposing liability in this case would violate Domino's due process rights. [...]the Supreme Court's denial of certiorari is unlikely to lead to a significant uptick in filings in these circuits, as some amici predicted. [...]in June 2019, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted a defendant's motion to dismiss a website accessibility suit, concluding that the claims were moot based on the defendant's remediation efforts. |
