    Disney World is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of Disney+.

    Jeffrey Piccolo filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Disney after his wife died in 2023 from a severe allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant at the theme park.

    However, Disney argues its terms of use, which Mr Piccolo agreed to when creating his Disney account in 2019, means they have to settle out of court..

      This sounds like possible overreach on behalf of both the plaintiff and Disney. I'm uncertain how a failure by what I suppose is a tenant restaurant becomes the responsibility of the leasing party, in this case, Disney. It seems like the common strategy in liability cases to sue everyone in sight.

      On the other hand, the proposed defense and resort to what would seem to be an unrelated arbitration clause in a seemingly unrelated transaction would be only further temptation to impose arbitration for almost all transactions with a party for any reason forever after. The pernicious creep of arbitration already threatens the rights of individuals to pursue legal action in many, perhaps most, dealings with corporations imposing terms of service.
