Company agrees to let case go to trial despite earlier claiming terms of free subscription trial invalidated lawsuit
Disney has dropped a controversial legal claim that the terms and conditions a widower agreed to when signing up for Disney+ streaming service protect it from a wrongful death lawsuit he brought over his wife’s death after she ate at a resort restaurant.
On Monday night, Josh D’Amaro the chairman of Disney Experiences, released a statement announcing that Disney had decided to have the matter proceed in court, rather than through arbitration, as the company had been fighting for just last week.
