Supreme Court Declines Petition to Hear Domino’s Case:

Domino’s Pizza asked the United States Supreme Court to rule that the Americans with Disabilities Act did not apply to the internet after the Circuit Court determined that their web site and mobile app must be accessible. Blind people, like everyone else, engage in daily online interactions and transactions. On October 7, The Supreme Court denied Domino’s petition for certiorari leaving the lower court’s decision intact. The Circuit Court’s decision is consistent with our position that businesses must make their web sites accessible to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

We continue to encourage all businesses to require the WCAG 2.1 AA standard in the development of their websites, and invite businesses to work closely with us in these efforts to ensure accessibility to the blind. Resources regarding web accessibility can be found through our Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Access.
