[blindlaw] Winn-Dixie Ruling

[Stewart, Christopher K]

I see that this ruling is the result of a bench trial, but other than
that, it looks like a straightforward application of the bricks and
clicks standard, far from a novel legal theory. I only skimmed the
ruling, though. Anyone else got thoughts on this?

Best,
Chris
