There ARE limitations in the ADA.

How much money the company makes, employees etc.

The problem is these suits have become a billable hour mill for the lawyers and the “activists” who profit via sham expert fees.

The lawyers set up a charitable “entity” which serves as the plaintiff then the activist gets money as the expert witness circumventing the ADA rules.

There is no notice prequisit to filing suit. There also is no means of being “certified” in compliance. You could (and do) have new and accessable buildings which are still sued to generate the fees. Also after teh suit, there is no protection agains the NEXT “activist”.

Of course there are and I'm sure her attorney knows what the limitations are, or they wouldn't bother. They don't like to waste their time either.

If she doesn't have a legitimate case they will be thrown out. In the past it seems that she did indeed have legitimate cases.

Is that what she is doing or does this have nothing to do with the article at hand?
