YES!!!

Oh, Very interesting. Thanks for posting /u/Itsthejoker

Here's the attempted arguement that catches my attention (it's from /u/snasta's great comment).

\>> And, they said, no clear rules exist for how to make their platforms properly accessible.

Seriously?

The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) launched in April of 1997, as part of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium - the international group in charge of the guidelines, directed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web), which is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year. (Go Tim!)

So I'm pretty sure there are guidelines.

And I bet the plaintiff's attorney's had some fun pointing out that Dominos might try hiring web developers who (ahem) are up on their job skills. ;-)

What an interesting case. Dominos wants to go to trial court. Thank you for posting this. As a pre-law student who plans to go into disability law I have been very interested in what happened with this case!

VICTORY BELONGS TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cue the ablleists proclaiming that he should just call if he wanted a pizza

A summary from Jack McElaney at Accessibility in the News

**KEY POINTS**

The Supreme Court denied a petition from pizza giant Domino’s on Monday to hear whether its website is required to be accessible to the disabled, leaving in place a lower court decision against the company.

The case was originally brought by a blind man named Guillermo Robles, who sued the pizza chain after he was unable to order food on Domino’s website and mobile app despite using screen-reading software.

The decision not to grant the case is a loss for the company and a win for disability advocates, who have argued that, if businesses do not have to maintain accessible sites, disabled people could be effectively shut out of substantial portions of the economy.

* Attorneys for Robles argued in court papers that the Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses with physical locations to make their websites and other online platforms accessible to those with disabilities.
* A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Robles, writing that the “alleged inaccessibility of Domino’s website and app impedes access to the goods and services of its physical pizza franchises—which are places of public accommodation.”
* Domino’s urged the Supreme Court to review the decision. By declining to do so, the court’s decision on Monday will leave the ruling in place, meaning Domino’s will have to fight Robles’s accessibility claims in court.
* Attorneys for Domino’s, backed by a range of business groups, had argued that the ADA does not apply to online platforms that were not envisioned when the law was passed in 1990. And, they said, no clear rules exist for how to make their platforms properly accessible.
* The lawsuit is one of an increasing number filed over website accessibility in recent years. Last year, more than 2,200 such suits were filed in federal courts, according to the accessible technology firm $1, nearly tripling the number a year before.
* The case is known as Domino’s Pizza v. Guillermo Robles, No. 18-1539.

very glad to see this. This will have far reaching implications through the web.

Good. I'm glad they realized that Dominos' arguments were bullshit

I'm not blind my father is. I would think case's like this would be bittersweet. Yes they should accomodate for their disability.

But from what my dad has experienced businesses just won't hire him in the first place so they don't have to do any accomodations or any extra help training needed. Which is a shame because my dad is very smart and would really like to work.
