The UK's Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) has officially rejected Apple's appeal concerning a prior decision that mandates the company to compensate App Store users with a sum of $2 billion. The tribunal concluded that the basis for Apple's appeal did not present a reasonable likelihood of success. The origin of this legal dispute lies in claims that Apple exploited its dominant market position by levying an exorbitant 30% commission on app developers, thereby undermining consumer welfare.
Despite Apple's efforts to have the verdict overturned, the CAT reaffirmed the initial ruling, labeling Apple's commission policy as illegal. As of now, Apple still holds the option to petition the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in a bid to further contest the decision. Consequently, the matter remains unresolved, with no definitive outcome reached yet.
