Activision's latest attempt to have one of the discrimination lawsuits it faces thrown out of court has been defeated.
The California Civil Rights Department – formerly known as the Department for Fair Employment and Housing – has announced the Second Appellate District of the Court of Appeal has denied Activision's petition to dismiss the case brought against the publisher last year.
The CRD filed a lawsuit in July 2021, built on allegations that women who worked at the Call of Duty publisher were sexually harassed by male co-workers, and that executives and HR not only knew about these incidents but failed to deal with inappropriate conduct correctly.
