06:27 AM EDT, 07/29/2024 (MT Newswires) -- A California judge has dismissed three of eight claims by a former BlackBerry Ltd. female executive suing the company and CEO John Giamatteo for sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination, The Globe and Mail reported over the weekend

Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California wrote in an 18-page ruling Friday that the court "largely agrees" with BlackBerry.

But the judge did not grant the company's request to strike from a fourth claim all references to "harassment and discrimination." Instead, she gave the plaintiff until Aug. 19 to file an amended complaint to add facts or details that support her claim.
