The Competition Appeal Tribunal unanimously rejected Apple’s plea to dismiss the class action lawsuit, allowing nearly 13,000 app developers to claim £785 million in restitution.
The developers argue that Apple’s monopoly on app distribution through the App Store results in unfair pricing, as Apple charges a 30% commission on all purchases.
Sean Ennis, leading the group of developers, asserts this lawsuit is essential in combating what they see as Apple’s abusive pricing tactics that exploit app creators.
Apple’s attempt to block the case was based on the claim that UK courts lacked jurisdiction over commissions related to app sales made outside of the UK.
