My thoughts are, we need a UK based company to get sued for providing an inaccessible site for the issue of web accessibility to really get across to businesses.  I believe there is a current case in the States (Target), though am not sure of the status of it.

It's bound to happen sometime, but the question is when.  And until it does happen, businesses will not see it as a high priority.

Also, in general, it shouldn't really cost any more to create an accessible site.  So whilst there may be the current argument of too much cost, this argument would lose value overtime as people revist their online presence.
