☆ Disney goes on offense in DeSantis board's lawsuit, seeks damages for breach of contract
  + stars: | 2023-08-18 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Spokespeople for the board and Disney did not immediately respond to CNBC's requests for comment. Disney's requests came in a 55-page filing denying the district board's allegations in its state-level lawsuit against the entertainment giant. The company seeks damages over the alleged breach, as well as a court order for the district to comply with development contracts that are at the heart of the legal fight between Disney and DeSantis. Disney has filed counterclaims, including a breach of contracts claim, against the board of supervisors picked by DeSantis to oversee Walt Disney World's special tax district, a Thursday court filing shows. Ron DeSantis may say he's " moved on " from his long-running feud with Disney , but the House of Mouse isn't easing up.

☆ DeSantis wants court to schedule Disney trial after 2024 election
  + stars: | 2023-06-28 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Ron DeSantis suggested that a trial in Disney 's civil lawsuit against him should be scheduled months after the November 2024 presidential election. DeSantis asked for the trial to start Aug. 4, 2025, more than two years after the company filed its complaint. But Disney contends it should begin on July 15, 2024, according to a filing in federal court in Tallahassee dated Tuesday. If the court agrees with Disney, then the political retaliation case against DeSantis would go to trial on the first day of the Republican National Convention. Disney sued, alleging a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" by DeSantis in response to speech protected by the First Amendment.

☆ DeSantis asks federal judge to dismiss Disney suit, claiming broad immunity
  + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( Kevin Breuninger Sarah Whitten | Kevin Breuninger | Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
A spokesman for Disney did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on the court filing. The 27-page motion to dismiss was filed by attorneys for DeSantis and Meredith Ivey, named as secretary for Florida's Department of Economic Opportunity. "Disney lacks standing to sue the Governor and Secretary, who are also immune from suit," they argued in a filing in U.S. District Court in Tallahassee. After Disney criticized the Republican-backed classroom bill, DeSantis and his allies moved to dissolve that special tax district. Days later, the DeSantis-appointed board countersued in state court.
