Disney's attempt to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the validity of a development agreement has been rejected, according to a Florida judge.
Disney’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the validity of a development agreement has been rejected, according to a Florida judge.According to 9th Judicial Circuit judge Margaret Schreiber on Friday , Disney’s argument that the lawsuit was made invalid by state law was not accepted. “Because this case is not moot and a stay is not proper, the Court hereby denies Disney’s Motion to Dismiss or, in the Alternative, to Stay this Action,” wrote Schreiber in her decision.
The original lawsuit was filed in May in the state court covering Florida’s Orange and Osceola counties by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. In it, the oversight board claims that Disney had putting together various “eleventh-hour deals” in order to illicitly keep powers that gave it control over development on the land surrounding the massive Walt Disney World.
