The lawsuit came after state officials voided a development deal involving Walt Disney World
Disney has sued Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, intensifying a battle between a global entertainment giant and a likely White House contender.
The two sides have been fighting since Disney criticised a state law banning discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in primary schools.
The lawsuit came after state officials voided a development deal involving Walt Disney World.
Disney says DeSantis’ has control over its operations, threatens its business and violates its constitutional rights.
It asked the court to undo the moves.
DeSantis is currently on a round-the-world tour and has previously cast the state’s moves as efforts to remove special perks for a company that were no longer in the public interest.
