Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has backed off its motion to seek arbitration in a wrongful death case filed in Orange County based on a widower’s alleged agreement to arbitration terms after signing up for a Disney+ account in 2019.

The lawsuit was filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in February by Jeffrey Piccolo, whose wife, physician Kanokporn Tangsuan, died last year after dining at the Raglan Road Irish Pub in the Disney Springs shopping and entertainment venue. Tangsuan collapsed from anaphylaxis after she consumed dairy products and nuts at the restaurant, despite a server’s assurances that the meal contained no allergens, according to the original lawsuit.

A response to Disney’s arbitration motion by Piccolo’s attorney characterized the company’s motion as inane and surreal. Disney had argued that Piccolo’s decision to sign up for a free trial of a Disney+ streaming account in 2019 and to purchase Epcot tickets last year on a Disney website binds his wife’s estate to an arbitration agreement contained in terms and conditions of the purchase agreements.
