The justices, on the first day of their new nine-month term, declined to hear Michigan-based company’s appeal of a lower court ruling allowing the lawsuit by Guillermo Robles invoking the Americans With Disabilities Act to move forward. Robles argued that on least two occasions he was unable to order a pizza because screen-reading software he uses did not work properly. His lawsuit alleged that Domino’s did not follow commonly used guidance on how to make websites and apps more accessible. Title III of the law requires that disabled people be able to access buildings open to the public, including restaurants.
The U.S. Justice Department has yet to issue any guidance on how the ADA can be applied online, if at all.
