The conflict of interest came to light after the DFEH objected to the EEOC's proposed settlement with Activision Blizzard, which would see them create an $18 million claims fund for employees who experienced harm from "sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination and/or related retaliation".
Now the Call Of Duty and World Of Warcraft publishers want the DFEH's case to be paused so they can investigate, and decide whether they want to try and get the case disqualified, or find "other appropriate remedies". This follows an update on the suit last week, which revealed that two DFEH lawyers previously worked for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), who're also going through legal proceedings with Actiblizzard, creating a conflict of interest. Activision Blizzard have filed an application to halt the harassment and discrimination lawsuit from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).
