SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 4 – Fitness
Everywhere was sued for having
a website allegedly
inaccessible to the visually
impaired. Twice.
On January
4 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John P. Cronan held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The lawyer
for Fitness Everywhere said
the company was sued by a
California law firm and
settled, making improvements.
Then it has been sued again.
He said while the site is not
perfect, it can be navigated,
that the failure to have "alt"
descriptions of all photos
does not mean it is
inaccessible.
Judge
Cronan thanked the parties for
trying to work this out - in
advance? - and considered the
Case Management Plan with its
discovery cut off of July 30.
The case is
Paguada v. Fitness Anywhere
LLC, 20-cv-8480 (Cronan)
