[games_access] suits about discrimination on the basis ofdisability?

[Barrie Ellis]

It was thrown out, but with quite some empathy for the case from the judge in summing up from my recollection. I think the issue was that the law was too weak. Would be worth tracking down the summation if you can find it, as I think it's quite illuminating from memory.

It was thrown out. Also, many of AG SE & SIG condemned the law suit as it is not a good way to bring about change. Many devs clammed up for awhile after this law suit. It did more harm than anything.

  Hi,

  do we have a list with suits about discrimination on the basis of
  disability?


  I have only this:

  9

  Does someone have information about the result?
  Was ist because it was no "public service" or/and error in form?

  Best regards,
  Sandra
