HOUSTON – A lawsuit against BCM Federal Credit Union that alleged the credit union’s website had violated the Americans With Disabilities Act has been voluntarily dismissed with prejudice.
The dismissal comes just eight days after CUNA and the Cornerstone Credit Union League filed a brief supporting BCM's motion to dismiss the case. The lawsuit is one of many that have been filed against credit unions across the country threatening class action, with many filed by a California-based law firm.
“We are glad to see that the plaintiff today voluntarily dismissed this frivolous federal lawsuit against BCM Federal Credit Union alleging website inaccessibility under the ADA, only days after CUNA and the Cornerstone Credit Union League weighed in supporting the credit union,” said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle in a statement.
"Today, Cornerstone’s aggressive response in the face of these predatory ADA lawsuits has paid off in a big way," said Cornerstone Credit Union League President/CEO Caroline Willard.
As CUToday.info previously reported, earlier this week CUNA and the Illinois Credit Union League also filed an amicus brief defending Aurora Policeman Credit Union.
