adminTwo lawsuits filed against credit unions in Alabama and Ohio whose websites allegedly violated the Americans with Disabilities Act were both dismissed this week by District Court judges in each state.

The issue of the plaintiffs’ intent was also a consideration for both courts. Read more at Credit Union Times.
