Thursday, April 22, 2021 On April 7, 2021, a split panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (the “11th Circuit”) issued its highly-anticipated decision in Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores, reversing a 2017 judgment against Winn-Dixie that found that the grocery chain’s website violated Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The 11th Circuit reversed and remanded the case for further proceedings, in part, based on its finding that websites are not a “public accommodation” under the ADA. While this decision is a victory for businesses—especially in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia (the states within the 11th Circuit)—that have dealt with a proliferation of website accessibility lawsuits in recent years, questions still remain for several reasons, as discussed below.
