San Francisco, California — United States District Court Judge Charles Legge today granted final approval to one of the most comprehensive agreements to date under the Americans with Disabilities Act. In issuing his Order, Judge Legge referred to the Consent Decree as a remarkable and outstanding achievement. The agreement with Equilon Enterprises LLC, and Shell Oil Products Company, two companies that now own, lease and/or operate over 3,000 Shell gas stations across the country, and plaintiffs in a national class action lawsuit, will substantially improve access for wheelchair users and other people with mobility disabilities across the country.
