Now, the EEOC has hit back at the DFEH’s objection – and says it has uncovered something which could undermine not just the DFEH’s objection but potentially its whole legal argument against Activision Blizzard.
Last week, the DFEH objected to a $18m settlement between Activision Blizzard and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), essentially saying the agreement impacted its own efforts for justice and risked letting Activision Blizzard off the hook.
A new twist in the ongoing and increasingly messy legal situation surrounding Activision Blizzard appears to have left California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing on the back foot (thanks, PC Gamer).
That would make the DFEH’s objection a conflict of interest and a potential legal issue regarding those attorney’s conduct.
