Earlier this year, Disney filed a lawsuit against Florida governor Ron DeSantis and the state’s other elected officials. The corporation apparently isn’t done hitting the state quite yet, as it’s now suing Florida again while also facing a lawsuit from one of its recent actors.

As far as the former’s concerned, ClickOrlando reveals Walt Disney Parks & Resorts filed a suit this past Friday. It accused the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (or CFTOD) of violating both state law and constitution when it failed to preserve and turn over public records. Because the organization failed to respond to a public record request from this past May, Disney’s called for an Orange County court to immediately order the CFTOD to hand over “all outstanding requested records,” and also declare it’s unlawfully holding back said records.

“The claimant caught his right foot on the step, fell and landed awkwardly on his right arm,” reads the document. While it notes Ineson immediately felt pain in his shoulder, the actor allegedly “stoically kept quiet” to avoid ruining the shot and waited until the cameras were cut before speaking up. It also claims the show’s producers—which include Jonathan Kasdan, Kathleen Kennedy, and Ron Howard—are liable due to “exerting pressure” of filming to deadline, and failing to ensure the steps where Ineson fell were properly cleaned.

Disney, also at time of writing, hasn’t given a comment on Ineson’s suit or the claims therein.
