Disney Springs Wrongful Death Lawsuit Update
IANAL, IANAA (not American). I would wager this argument won’t work due to subdivisions of the Disney corporation into a lot of sub corporations. The terms of service and any other contract are usually between the consumer and the relevant sub corporate entity. This is usually what protects the parent corporation from one arm of the business spreading it’s risk to the rest of the corporate body. In this case, arguments reaching across that would risk spreading throughout the company… Weird that they would risk it.
