Apple has lost a bid to move to private arbitration a consumer privacy lawsuit related to its iMessage platform, and must now face the complaint in open court.

U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield on Tuesday rejected an argument from Apple and T-Mobile that provisions in the carrier’s terms and conditions require consumer disputes to go into private arbitration, Bloomberg reports. T-Mobile is the co-defendant in the lawsuit, Ohanian v. Apple Inc.
