summary

Updates on case law, enforcement and numbers: DOJ issues guidance in 2022 and kicks off DOJ rulemaking timeline April–June 2023 for Title II, courts split on whether websites need a physical nexus (9th/11th/12th say yes, 1st says no), and mootness wins if a site is fixed after suit as in Winn‑Dixie. Litigation counts jump and fall — 11.5k federal ADA suits (2021) vs 8.6k (2022) and web suits grow from 814 (2017) to 3,200 website suits (2022) with New York leading at 2,500 (2022). Remedies remain injunctive relief plus fees; some states add damages.
