Np. tutaj chodzi o określenie progu/granicy niepełnosprawności:
"In Williams v. Toyota, the Court declared that the threshold determination, the definition of disability "needs to be interpreted strictly to create a demanding standard for qualifying as disabled". This new rule contradicts the rule established in Arline and relied on by Congress in adopting the ADA definition -- that the definition of disability should be interpreted broadly so that the real question of qualifications for the job (or other benefit) can be determined based on merit. This high threshold standard has served to throw out cases of qualified individuals who face discrimination based on what is determined to be a non-substantially limiting disability. For example, people with epilepsy and diabetes have been unable to challenge adverse actions based on their diabetes or epilepsy because their seizures only last a few seconds or only occur episodically and, therefore, are determined not to constitute a substantial limitation on a major life activity. There is no question that Senator Bob Dole, a chief sponsor of the ADA, would not be "substantially limited" enough to meet the Supreme Court's "strict standard" of disability under Williams. "

Tutaj zaś - określenie progu wiarygodności:
"In all applications for asylum, the Court must make a threshold determination of the alien’s credibility. "
