Fox Corp lost its bid Thursday to dismiss the $2.7 billion defamation suit brought against Fox News by Smartmatic, an electronic voting systems company.
A New York state appeals court rejected Fox's motion on Thursday, in a five-judge panel decision, meaning the suit is set to go to trial.
Smartmatic, like Dominion, sued Fox News over statements made on air suggesting the companies engaged in voter fraud to steal votes from then-President Donald Trump.
The ruling may signal a challenging legal battle ahead for Fox News unless the parties reach a settlement, similar to their previous agreement with Dominion.
