Courts continue to limit scope of ADA

Article Abstract:

The US Supreme Court in Sutton v. United Air Lines, Inc. held that corrective measures which may be taken must be considered when courts determine what qualifies as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Measures which may mitigate physical or mental disabilities such as eyeglasses or medication are relevant to the availability of ADA relief.
