OT: Stop IE

[Thermodyne]

You would need to case name which I didn’t provide.

On our website (s), we no longer link to third party sites and we do not hyperlink to third party sites via email. We are required to meet the standard and any site we “use” must meet the standard or we can not use it. We had to redo two large sites because of this, along with many smaller ones. And no revisions can be published untill they have been reviewed for compliance, which is a real pain when you are trying to rush some content onto the server and it has to wait for review.

These cases are being heard as civil cases and as such are open to wide latitude as to the intent of the law. Depending on the state, the jury may more or less legislate from the jury room. We settled a case where some content that we only linked to was in question. Legal wouldn’t risk a jury award. I should add that from what I have seen, these things settle for small change. But even that can really ruin the day for someone with little or no income. Many of our contractors have been impacted as well as some of our equipment providers, because we were referring consumers to their sites via links in emails.

It’s not just web pages, it almost anything you can think of. Toilet stall widths, Ramp inclines, wall receptacle locations, types of doorknobs. And the really bad part is that most cases settle for cash, out of court, with no corrections being required in the settlement. It has become all about getting some quick cash.
