A Texas federal judge has ordered Google to provide additional documents amid ongoing legal disputes with a former employee. This development is part of a broader, increasingly contentious battle involving Google. In a separate but related matter, a D.C. federal judge is deliberating on the future of Google's search business, with Google urging the judge to disregard the Justice Department's references to discussions of 'fake privilege' by company lawyers in a different case. Concurrently, Google is seeking to confirm an arbitration award against the former employee, labeled as a 'vexatious litigant.' These legal challenges come as Google faces a significant antitrust lawsuit, U.S. v. Google LLC, concerning its search monopoly, with new filings and documents expected to be disclosed ahead of closing arguments and a forthcoming adtech trial in September.
Ahead of closing arguments, some documents from last fall finally going to be turned over in U.S. v Google. Lessons for September adtech trial, too. https://t.co/pTJnDPqOSx https://t.co/IJgrxjHDZL
