The European Union's second-highest court ruled that a 1.5 billion euro fine on Google should be annulled, siding with the tech giant after its appeal.
The EU General Court stated it ‘upholds the majority of the findings’ but annulled the fine due to the Commission’s failure to consider relevant circumstances in its assessment.
The fine was originally imposed in 2019 by the European Commission, which claimed Google abused market dominance through restrictive contract clauses with third-party websites.
A spokesperson for the European Commission noted that they will reflect on possible steps following the court's decision, indicating potential further legal action.
