Jean Philippe Grenet secured a temporary High Court injunction over his dismissal from Electronic Arts following a sexual-harassment complaint. The injunction prevents the company from dismissing him or appointing someone else to his role while the case continues.

At a hearing on 18 December 2018, his lawyers said his remark was clumsy but was not intended as a sexual comment. Grenet disputes the account of what he said during the video call. His barrister, Oisín Quinn SC, told Judge Tony O’Connor that the speed and nature of the dismissal breached natural justice. Electronic Arts contended it was entitled to dismiss him.

The hearing was continuing, the report said. The proceedings were reported on 19 December 2018.
