Have a look at this its the same case Taco, but the discussion widens on the two laws that currently cover this area, ( to my knowledge ).
http://www.etsi.org/cce/proceedings/5_1.htm I would guess that you are familial with the European Human Rights Bill and the Accessibility laws instituted in the last few years in Europe I would "guess" that anything here would be based on something similar. As a risk management issue I am sticking to what I know from Europe, hoping that this will be harder than any regulation here.

If so, to what websites does it apply and has anyone taken any websites to court over not being accessible? What I could find so far only the following: - http://www.sportslawnews.com/archive/Articles%202000/SportsBriefs904.htm Are there any links to what standards certain websites need to apply? I believe this has been asked before however a quick scan though my mailbox did not return anything.
