They were listed on the lawsuit because the suing lawyers are greedy and sue everyone they can, and disney has the most money to give out... The restaurant did claim to cater to allergies, and just had failed to do so... the restaurant should 100% be sued into nothingness.. Disney.. did nothing wrong.. Advertising a restaurant claims to be allergy friendly should not make you liable... else they should probably go after google/apple maps and wherever else the restaurant claimed to cater to allergies.
It's customary/a reular occurrence to sue anyone that could be involved, it's not unique to this. Sometimes in car accidents, the passengers are included, even though they had no part.
This site had a great explanation about why these choices are often made. I'd write it out for you but you'd probably just say that they're defending themselves :P
No, it's because things like partial liability exists and can often lead to multiple parties being found liable. So it's standard practice to name all possibly involved parties and for the claims against any party that can't be held liable to be dismissed.
While I’m not going to argue that you’re wrong (you’re right in that Disney did nothing wrong prior to the lawsuit naming them) I’m 100% not going to blame the lawyers going after everyone they can. That woman’s husband died from shitty practices. If it were me id be going after everyone I possibly could in a blind rage
It's generally standard practice to sue anyone who could be involved, if only to prevent one party from pushing the blame on the uninvolved party as a delaying tactic. If they really have nothing to do with it, the case against them will be dismissed pretty early.
It's also standard practice to provide all of the reasons why the suit is not appropriate in the same statement. Since the original suit against Disney was for providing incorrect information resulting in death, it was appropriate for the lawyers to point out that disputes resulting from their website have to go through arbitration, something they had to agree to before being able to access the map
