Accessibility in the News — 12/8/2023.

The Supreme Court recently dismissed the high-stakes disability case, Acheson Hotels LLC v. Laufer, which had significant implications for the rights of disabled individuals to sue places of public accommodation for lack of website accessibility information. Plaintiff Deborah Laufer, a self-appointed ADA “tester,” alleged that Acheson Hotels failed to provide sufficient information about its hotel’s accessibility features on its website, violating the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). While the court acknowledged concerns about litigants manipulating jurisdiction, it deemed Laufer’s case moot after she voluntarily dropped it due to allegations of misconduct against her lawyer and the hotel’s subsequent website update. Disability rights advocates stressed the importance of testers in enforcing ADA violations, while opponents argued many lawsuits were frivolous. The dismissal raises questions about the future of ADA enforcement and the role of “testers” in holding establishments accountable.
