Apple refused permission to appeal UK ruling on app store commissions
Apple was on Thursday refused permission to appeal against a London tribunal ruling that it abused its dominant position by charging app developers unfair commissions, leaving the tech giant facing a potential bill of over 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion).
The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) ruled against Apple last month after a trial, finding Apple had abused its dominant position by shutting out competition in the app distribution market and “charging excessive and unfair prices” as commission.
