"Riding any bike with any equipment can lead to liability issues" does not mean that disc brakes do not have their own set of concerns.
The website you refer to says "Updated January 2006". That's now over two years ago. The links are circular and add nothing to the information. But knowing the way things move slowly in legal matters like this, I'd say the incident likely occurred in 2002 or 2003 at the latest.
And rather than having the option of using 1990s, 1980s, etc, just how do you want me to describe the first decade of what we are in? Read my reference to early 2000s and being early in this decade... which is well and truly past half way.
