Part 4/8:
For months, the major legal question was whether Disney's motion to dismiss the case would be granted, effectively ending the lawsuit before uncovering further details. However, recent court filings indicate a positive turn for Carano. A district judge, Cheryllyn P. Garnett, has rejected Disney's motion to dismiss, allowing the case to proceed to discovery and potential trial.
According to reports from sources like Drunk 3PO, the judge's decision is a clear setback for Disney, as it suggests the company's defenses are not sufficiently solid to dismiss the case at this stage. The court's rejection implies that there may be sufficient grounds to explore Disney's internal decision-making process regarding the firing, potentially revealing biases or legal breaches.
