28. Gotcha! So when Disney has an executive conference at a Holiday Inn...

...and during the course of that conference (or even afterwards apparently) one or more Holiday Inn employees are injured by negligence on the part of the Holiday Inn corporation, Disney corporation is not only financially liable for the injuries incurred by Holiday Inn employees, they are also liable for any injuries caused by deficiencies in the construction of that hotel -- including injuries to non-Disney employees. In other words, by doing business with Holiday Inn in any capacity, Disney becomes liable for everything the Holiday Inn corporation does or does not do, both past and future, forever.

That about cover your working model?

But that is, of course, ridiculous. You have to prove negligence before you can talk about damages. In the above example, it is NOT the Disney corporation's job to ensure that working conditions at the hotel are safe, or that workers there are properly trained and legal, or that regular hotel management laws are followed, or that the building itself was properly constructed and meets with local codes. All of that is the responsibility or the Hotel and local government.
