Britain’s Competition Appeal Tribunal (a British body handling competition disputes) has allowed part of a consumer lawsuit against Apple and Amazon to proceed. The case alleges the companies agreed in 2018 to restrict which sellers could offer Apple and Beats products on Amazon’s UK marketplace, reducing competition and raising prices. The tribunal approved claims involving Apple products bought through Amazon’s marketplace, with the claimant valuing that part of the case at between £289 million ($383 million) and £306 million, including interest. It rejected wider claims covering products bought directly from Apple and other retailers, finding the alleged harm too complex and speculative and saying there was insufficient evidence at this stage.
