The lawsuit claims that Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant despite repeatedly informing the waiter of her severe allergy.

    FTA:

    Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.

    The company says signing up for the trial requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.

    I’m pretty freaking sure that even if the dispute was hypothetically with Disney+ streaming, rather than a theme park/restaraunt… it’s still not enforceable.

    But This? only reason it’s not patently ridiculous is because this is how Disney wins lawsuits: they’ll bring hundreds of bullshit motions to drown the plaintiff in legal fees until they simply go away.

        It’s completely insane, they could have settled for breadcrumbs, but they’ve chosen to make the most comic villain insane ad against subscribing possible. Pay for our content, nvm this line that says we can kill your wife with impunity 10 years down the line… GIVE US MONEY

      They could have easily settled this.

      I’m hoping now they and other scumbag companies get taken to task for how fucking ridiculous their bullshit catch all clauses are.

      Yeah exactly, unless the US judical system is even more fucked up than I believe already, this makes no sense. Nevermind how enforced-arbitration doesn’t work in most of the world, the agreement would be with Disney+ the streaming arm, not Disney park operations.

    Can we not shorten “long Island” to LI without spelling out the abbreviation at least once?

    It’s definitely not a common one.

    Edit, but then it comes from the long Island News site, I guess I can’t be too critical…

    Scummy fucking assholes. They have more than enough money to pay out and attempt to right the wrong. It’s despicable that they’re fighting this at this level.

      It’s not like it was even their restaurant, it was just a separately owned an operated pub that operates in Disney Springs.

    Can’t say I have read a bullcrap from space headline like this before…

    And to say it takes place before the Bayer-Monsanto-Nestlé-Palantir-Disney merger of 2029 gives me the hibbygibies

    F**k Disney
