This is a very useful article covering UK laws on disability descrimination act and websites. All websites that offer goods and services to the public must comply with the Disability Discrimination Act.
‘The Act makes it unlawful for a service provider to discriminate against a disabled person: by refusing to provide (or deliberately not providing) any service which it provides (or is prepared to provide) to members of the public.” Page 7, point 2.2.’
No one has been prosecuted on this so far, but the law is still quite new. Resistance is futile - as the borg say and its all worthwhile. Im not quite sure how this impacts flash websites though..
