The U.S. Supreme Court declined last week to hear Domino’s Pizza Inc.’s appeal over whether its website and mobile app must comply with federal disabilities law, the ABA Journal reports. The company had argued that only physical facilities are covered by the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In refusing to hear the case, the court let stand a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that allowed a blind man to sue the pizza chain to ensure its website and mobile app work with common screen-reading software. The ADA does not explicitly address the Internet or mobile apps, leaving courts around the country to determine how the law applies.
