''Access Now, Inc. v. Southwest Airlines Co.'' was a decision of the United States District Court on 18 August 2002. It concerned the nature of Title III of Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The court determined that Southwest Airlines website is not a “place of public accommodation” as defined in Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Tech Law Journal )〕 The case determined that the Southwest Airlines internet website was not in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) concerned with a physical existence and hence cannot govern what it is in cyberspace. Judge Seitz also explained that the “virtual ticket counter” Southwest Airlines Co’s website was a virtual construct and hence not a “public place of accommodation” and as such “To expand the ADA to cover "virtual" spaces would be to create new rights without well-defined standards".〔 ==Decisions==
Access Now, Inc. v. Southwest Airlines Co., was a decision of the United States District Court, which on 18 August 2002 ruled that the Southwest Airlines Co’s website is not a “place of public accommodation” as defined in Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act.〔 The case concerned Robert Gumson, a blind American man living in Florida, United States of America. The plaintiffs; Access Now, Inc and Robert Gumson argued that Southwest Airline's internet website was in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =American with Disabilities Act )〕 as the airlines website was not accessible to the blind such as Robert Gumson. The main topic that was considered by the United States District Court was whether Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (public services) requires companies such as Southwest Airlines Co to edit their websites to be completely accessible to visually impaired people such Mr. Gumson.The United States district court ultimately decided in favour of the defendant and not the plaintiffs. The judge for this case, Patrica Seitz elucidates that the plaintiff could not apply for Title III of ADA as Type III “governs solely access to physical, concrete places of public accommodation” and hence cannot govern what it is in cyberspace.〔 Judge Partrica Seitz also explained that the “virtual ticket counter” located on Southwest Airlines Co’s website was a virtual construct and hence not a “public place of accommodation” and as such “To expand the ADA to cover "virtual" spaces would be to create new rights without well-defined standards.”〔
