From the issue where someone wanted to sue Disney because his wife ate at a restaurant in Walt Disney World and had a fatal allergic reaction, but Disney claimed they couldn’t be sued because he had previously signed up for Disney+ and agreed to a clause that he would settle any disputes with Disney outside of court. Recently, Disney has backed down.
Josh D’Amaro, the head of Disney’s Experience department, revealed that the incident was sensitive and involved a loss of life, so they had to find a suitable solution. The company decided to waive the clause regarding settling disputes outside of court and will proceed with this matter in court.
Jamie Cartwright, a lawyer from Charles Russell Speechlys, commented that Disney’s change of heart may be a result of the publicity surrounding this news, putting pressure on Disney itself.
