Supreme Court to Decide on Hotel Accessibility Lawsuits and Disability Bias Cases
Disability rights activist Deborah Laufer, who has filed hundreds of federal lawsuits against hotels for failing to disclose accessibility information on their websites, faces a Supreme Court showdown after Acheson Hotels, which operates the Coast Village Inn and Cottages in Maine, argued that Laufer does not have legal standing to bring the cases under the Americans with Disabilities Act because she has no intention of staying at the hotels in question. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments and issue a ruling in its next term, which starts in October and ends in June 2024.
