 NOTABLE CASES 
02-CV-21734-SEITZ - - Access Now, Inc. & Robert Gumson v. Southwest Airlines, Co.
Order granting defendant's motion to dismiss* (10/18/2002) 
<<Access Now vs. SW Airlines (October 2002).pdf>> 
COURT DISMISSES ADA WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY CASE 
A federal court in Florida has dismissed a lawsuit which 
sought to require Southwest Airlines to amend its website to 
ensure that it was compliant with the Americans with 
Disabilities Act.  The court ruled that southwest.com is not 
a "place of public accommodation" since that definition 
requires a physical place and thus does not fall within the 
statute.  Case is Access Now v. Southwest Airlines.
