A.W. — The outrage stops them in this instance because they targeted a locally famous establishment and it got a lot of press. They don’t want to risk having the law changed due to too much unwanted attention, so they dropped the suit. Instead, they will continue to sue lesser-known small businesses that will not be able to attract any press coverage, and continue making their gobs of money on the backs of hardworking small-business owners.

Um, doesn’t the fact that they are moving now, kind of prove this wasn’t frivolous in the first place?

Or it proves that they were worried about someone else wanting to make a money grab despite the building they are in never being able to comply with the ADA.

Everyone said they couldn’t afford to move, etc. Well, so much for that, huh?

Actually, I believe the comments were that making the changes at the present building would have cost too much (even if feasible) for a return on investment.

The ADA is a law that needs to be revisited.

Anyway, as a general proposition, cheesy lawyers could care less what the internet says. so if you assume this is just a shakedown, why should anyone’s outrage stop them?
