Acheson Hotels, LLC v. Laufer (ADA / Mootness)
Show Notes

The Supreme Court granted certiorari to address a circuit split -- whether Deborah Laufer has Article III standing to sue hotels that fail to include information about accessibility accommodations as required by the ADA.  She sued hundreds of hotels, most of which she never intended on trying to stay at.  After her lawyer faced sanctions, Laufer decided to voluntarily dismiss her case/s.  She asked the Supreme Court to vacate her case as moot.  Justice Barrett, writing for the Court, agreed. The judgment is vacated and remanded to the First Circuit for dismissal.  Read by Jake A. Leahy. Acheson Hotels, LLC. v. Laufer.
