Disney will no longer ask a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the husband of a Long Island doctor.
The company originally said Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan’s husband waived his right to sue when he signed up for streaming service Disney+, saying it was all in the fine print.
However, Disney is now waiving its arbitration rights to allow the suit.
According to the lawsuit, the doctor suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant in Disney Springs.
