This week, a much-anticipated ruling on website accessibility was issued out of the Southern District of Florida. The ruling in Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores, case no. 16-23020-civ-Scola (S.D. FL 2017), will require the attention of businesses across the country that host websites. To recap, this was a case of first impression. After a two-day nonjury trial, Judge Robert Scola determined that Winn-Dixie's website operates as a "gateway" to its physical store locations and therefore is required to be accessible to individuals with disabilities, write Carol C. Lumpkin, Stephanie Moot and Shawn Hogue.
