In a controversial legal maneuver, Disney is attempting to convince a judge to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit, arguing that the plaintiff agreed to resolve any disputes through arbitration years earlier when signing up for the Disney+ streaming service. The Washington Post notes that the lawsuit, filed by Jeffrey Piccolo, claims that his wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, suffered a fatal allergic reaction after dining at a Disney Springs restaurant in Florida in October 2023. In a motion filed on May 31 in Orange County, Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit Court, Disney contended that Piccolo had agreed to arbitrate all disputes with the company when he signed up for a one-month trial of Disney+ in 2019.
