Disney gives up on trying to use Disney Plus excuse to settle a wrongful death lawsuit

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.”

This has absolutely nothing to do with landlords.

Maybe OP's trying to make a point about how Disney is dropping their arbitration clause but landlords don't? But yeah, I'm a little confused too

There's a mandatory arbitration clause in almost every lease. Disney trying to use it to escape clear legal liability is a harbinger for how everyone will use this including landlords.
