Airline Files Motion for Summary Dismissal
Oakland Press
By Jerry Wolffe
May 10, 2008
Northwest Airlines has filed a motion for summary dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Farmington Hills attorney Richard Bernstein last month contending the airline discriminates against disabled passengers.
Bernstein, on behalf of five plaintiffs including Jill Babcock of Farmington, filed suit under the Air Carrier Access Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
The suit filed in federal court on April 14 doesn’t seek damages. Bernstein has 21 days to respond to the motion filed by the airline. Rob Laughlin, manager of media relations for Northwest in Eagan, Minn., was unavailable for comment Wednesday.
Bernstein said the motion filed by Northwest Airlines didn’t address issues of discrimination, but argued that the Department of Transportation, and not individuals, are the only entity with authority to file such a suit.
