The Supreme Court dismissed on Dec. 5 the case of a serial lawsuit filer who sued more than 600 hotels over their alleged failure to post disability accessibility information on their websites.
Activists say such “testers” are only helping to enforce the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which they say hotels do not observe unless they are pressured to do so. The ADA is a 1990 federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability.
