Comment on Disney Seeking Dismissal of Raglan Road Death Lawsuit Because Victim Was Disney+ Subscriber
Pronell@lemmy.world 2 months agoI wonder if they have some longer term strategy here because this story is far too damaging over a 50k payout.
Like maybe they make an insane argument to undermine arbitration clauses so they can win elsewhere.
Because this is a maliciously bad look for Disney. Nobody should ever have to think about streaming contracts while deciding where to eat.
Carve the Mouse! Break it up!

I think the reason that they’re fighting it so hard is to defend arbitration clauses while the courts are still conservitive controlled. If they got sued in court despite the arbitration clause then that sets president to throw out those clauses. If they can get the courts to uphold the clause then that actually gives arbitration clauses some teeth. But if they’re going to do that then the need to do it now while there is still any chance of it being ruled in their favor and they have the money to drag this thing all the way up to the corrupt supreme court if they need to.

I can’t see any way that they win this case on the merits of the argument.
But if I’m wrong and they win, a whole lot of lawsuits are gonna disappear. That’s a terrible precedent to set.

Current SCOTUS are something of terrible prescident afficionados.
