Online gaming and sports betting firm, GAN Ltd., recently made headway in handling claims made by its former chief legal officer involving wrongful termination, whistleblowing allegations, and objections to the hostile work environment. A United States federal court in California has mandated that the dispute between the parties will be settled in arbitration.
The former executive of GAN Ltd. accuses the company of unlawful dismissal, claiming that the motive behind his termination was primarily due to his whistleblowing activity and resistance against a negatively perceived work culture. He will now have to pursue his grievances in a binding arbitration process as ordered by the court, which typically operates in a private, less formal setup outside the conventional court framework.
This ruling symbolizes a partial victory for GAN Ltd., which had been seeking to redirect the legal confrontation out of public court records and into arbitration.
