One of the most cited website accessibility opinions. Frequently referenced when discussing the link between digital barriers and access to goods and services at a physical business.

Important for teams tracking tester standing and hotel website litigation. The case ended as moot, but it remains part of the current debate around who can sue and when.

A widely cited enforcement example because it covered both the website and mobile apps, along with policy, training, and ongoing monitoring obligations.
Peapod Settlement Agreement
Useful for showing that digital accessibility enforcement has been tied to ecommerce and online ordering for more than a decade, not just recent overlay debates.
