WCAG guideline for too much ARIA

Hi all



I've come across a page where the devs have gone over the top with ARIA in
an attempt to make a poor page accessible, but the ARIA is causing problems.
For example, there is a heading structure but the headings are not read out
because the ARIA label takes presidence. It seems that the devs have gone
through the page and worked out every instance where they might conceivably
stick ARIA.



Is there a WCAG guideline that is relevant for the use of too much ARIA?



Thanks in anticipation.



Cheers



Barry
