  • Title: HIV groups urge Court to take broad view of disability.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1999 May 14; 14(9):12. PubMed ID: 11366953.
    Abstract:
    An amicus brief filed by 22 disability-rights and HIV groups cautions the Supreme Court against limiting its interpretation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The brief focuses on a case, [name removed]'s Inc. v [name removed], involving a truck driver who was fired because of his monocular vision. [Name removed] is able to hold a job and perform normal activities, but is substantially limited by the manner in which he sees because of his monocular vision. The brief attempts to explain why some impairments, such as HIV or loss of a limb, always meet the statutory definition of disability, while other impairments must be examined more closely. The brief also states that ADA claims should focus on the conduct and motivation of the defendant, not the extent of the plaintiff's disability.
