Experts say this case could alter who has the standing to enforce federal disability law.
The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on Wednesday in a major case that could affect disabled individuals’ rights to sue a place of public accommodation for failing to provide accessibility information on its website.
In the lawsuit, Acheson Hotels put Laufer’s tester standing — and her eligibility to sue — into question. A district court had initially dismissed Laufer’s lawsuit against Acheson Hotels, deciding that she was not injured by the absence of information on the hotel’s website since she never planned to visit, and therefore did not have standing to sue.
The average disabled person who experiences discrimination from a private establishment is more likely to let it go rather than file an ADA lawsuit due to the costly, time-consuming and stressful nature of the process, as well as the risks.But some businesses, including Acheson Hotels, say that these lawsuits can be predatory.
