supreme court accessibility screen reader

'The Act mandates that places of public accommodation, like Domino's, provide auxiliary aids and services to make visual materials available to individuals who are blind.

The Ninth Circuit opinion's summary clarified exactly why the ADA applies to websites and apps, including those of Domino's: With the Supreme Court placing the case on its 'CERTIORARI DENIED' list, the Ninth Circuit's opinion remains the latest precedent. Before being reversed by the Ninth Circuit, a lower court had dismissed the case against the pizza company, accepting their defense that allowing the case to continue without formalized web accessibility regulations from the Department of Justice (DOJ) would violate the company's due process rights. Domino's Pizza, LLC, was filed in 2016, alleging that the Domino's website and app were not accessible to individuals who are blind or visually-impaired using a screen reader, and were thus in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).ĭomino's had asked the Supreme Court to overrule a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opinion from earlier this year, which upheld that the ADA applies to websites and mobile apps. The Domino's accessibility case will not be heard by the Supreme Court of the United States, with the company's petition denied in an Octoorder.
