An eligible party may receive an award when it prevails over the government, unless the government s position was substantially justified or special circumstances make an award unjust. http www.law.cornell.edu uscode html uscode28 usc sec 28 00002412 000 .html To recover under EAJA, a claimant must show that it is a prevailing party.

The Air Carrier AccessAct of 1986 ACAA is Title 49 of the United States Code Title 49 , Section 41705 of the U.S. Code . The act prohibits commercial airlines from discriminate discriminating against passengers with disabilities .

Paralyzed Veterans of America PVA . In PVA, the Supreme Court held that private, commercial air carriers are not liable under Section 504 because they are not direct recipients of federal funding to airports . The Act was construed to contain an implied private right of action . However, in 2001 , the U.S. Supreme Court decided Alexander v. Sandoval ref 532 U.S. 275 2001 ref , which held that federal courts may not find an implied private right unless a statute gives explicit indication that Congress intended to bestow such a right. In 2004 , the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit followed the lead of the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which relied on the Sandoval decision to hold that the Act can only be enforced by filing an administrative complaint with the DOT. ref Boswell v.
