This could be a precedent-setting case. These fuckers better not get away with this.

Maybe we can finally claw these arbitration powers back?

Wait this isn’t a joke?

If a lawyer is scum, then so is the one paying them.

Some people/companies/etc. really take “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” too far.

I do hope whoever suggested that this is a legitimate cause to dismiss the case dies of an intestinal blockage caused by hemorrhoids. Just a thing I hope.

Arguing over health/death via a technicality is one of the lowest of lows.

this is actual parody dystopian movie level crazy wtf

All corporate lawyers are scum.

or at the absolute bare fucking minimum be opt-in only, instead of "opt out by sending us a handwritten letter through snail mail within 45 minutes of this notice." the shit offers less than zero benefit to the consumer and basically lets corporations get away with murder

nothing will ever change to make them go away

Arbitration has its place in B2B contracts.

With consumers or employees? Absolutely not

I'm just about to move to Quebec, which is based on the French Napoleonic code rather than English Common Law. I'm not an expert, but I understand that the French system does not rely on precedent in making judicial decisions, but everything has to be codified in the law.

Anyway, another one of the legal differences between Quebec and other provinces in Canada is that mandatory arbitration clauses are illegal.

The medical system may be imploding even faster than the rest of Canada, and my rights as an English speaker may be stripped from me by the time I move, but they do have some protections for individuals.

Pllllllllllleeeeeeaaassseeeee let this go to trial. I'm begging y'all. They weren't even active subscribers of Disney+, they only got the trial. But holy fuck either way, this is stupid. Arbitration agreements should be illegal.

Evil begets evil, Mr. president. (Extra points if you can name the movie)

That's insane. When are citizens going to be protected from fucking mandated forced arbitration?????

Haven’t courts ruled that those terms and conditions aren’t totally enforceable since no one can really read and/or understand them all?

This is a food issue and literally has nothing to do with any fucking digital agreement whatsoever. Full stop.

And sue the chef personally, for completeness

It could be a difficult thing to prove who is at fault, and the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the staff at the restaurant were at fault individually.
