Disney tried to force the case into arbitration by citing the agreement on the widower’s Disney Plus trial account.

Disney has now agreed that a wrongful death lawsuit should be decided in court following backlash for initially arguing the case belonged in arbitration because the grieving widower had once signed up for a Disney Plus trial.

“With such unique circumstances as the ones in this case, we believe this situation warrants a sensitive approach to expedite a resolution for the family who have experienced such a painful loss,” chairman of Disney experiences Josh D’Amaro said in a statement to The Verge. “As such, we’ve decided to waive our right to arbitration and have the matter proceed in court.”

    They said they decided to waive their right to arbitration. They still think that’s their right, fucking sickening.

      I think they put it that way because they want to signal how powerful they are while pretending to be ethical

        Exactly, i thought of this as a tapping of the holstered guns they’re openly wearing

          Yeah, but they’re cap guns in this case. It’s an idiotic legal theory.
