“Acheson Hotels v. Laufer”


There are several activists who have made it a business to search for companies or stores that may not be totally ADA compliant and suing them in California courts. They may have never visited that business and have no intention of doing so in the future, but they file suit causing the often-times small mom&pop business to either spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix slight deficiencies or either close their business altogether.

That may be true. But if they were in compliance in the first place, they wouldn’t be sued. I don’t need these special needs yet, but in 30 years I may. I’d expect to be able to get around like everyone else.

Classic law-fare. Might be slightly better to look it as regulation-fare.

Margaret Sanger herself was one if the first major pioneers of this tactical use of the courts to abuse the laws for big government purposes.
