  • Show me the lease agreement that says I'm wrong. I guarantee it's much different than a standard commercial lease with more stringent requirements. If Disney is making specific requirements then they have a duty to enforce them.

    • I appreciate your concerns, but truly: I owe you nothing. It takes very little integrity to make an uninformed allegation and then sit back with a smug look and a mug full of selfrighteousness decrying "prove me wrong".

      Why don't you prove Legal Eagle wrong? It would without a doubt be more fruitful because I'm not entertaining it.

      • Then why did they attempt to invoke the terms of an unrelated service rather than having the case dismissed outright? Makes no sense.

        • Obviously I can't possibly speak as to why they chose to do what they did. But I would assume that making a motion to dismiss due to the fact that arbitration has already been agreed to (seemingly unrelated from your perspective but from a legal perspective is really the only substantive aspect, so wildly related) is far less scandalous than making a motion to dismiss with no recourse for the plaintiff at all and would be far more damaging to their reputation.

          And that DOES make sense.

          • Right, but if they're not affiliated with the restaurant, then the restaurant doesn't fall under their tos, because they don't own it.

            • The restaurant isn't suing them, ding dong. The guy who consented to an arbitration agreement is. Jesus fuck, it is okay to be wrong. I know it sucks. It sucks even more to imagine that Disney might be doing something remotely respectable and have to admit that. But it's okay. I'm wrong all the time. I face it, accept it, learn from it, and move on.

              When you are ready to move on, go for it.

              • So they're doing to arbitrate a case on behalf of the store? Makes no sense to think it applies to their arbitration agreement.
