Court rules against Taco Bell in discrimination case

October 9, 2011

Taco Bell's 220 California units will likely have to undergo improvements after a federal judge ruled the chain violated federal and California laws protecting the disabled from discrimination.

The ruling stems from a class action lawsuit that was filed in late 2002.
