  • A UK tribunal has ruled against a mass lawsuit accusing Apple and Amazon of collusion to remove resellers from Amazon's UK marketplace.

The article discusses a significant legal victory for Apple in the UK, where the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) upheld a £600 million lawsuit against Apple. This lawsuit was initiated by UK-based resellers who claimed that Apple's restrictions on selling its products on platforms like Amazon were anti-competitive. The CAT's decision to allow the case to proceed means that Apple's stringent control over its product distribution, particularly preventing third-party sellers from offering Apple products on Amazon UK, will continue to be scrutinized. This ruling not only keeps the lawsuit active but also highlights the ongoing tension between Apple's desire to control its brand and distribution channels and the rights of resellers to operate freely in the market. The outcome of this case could potentially influence how tech giants manage their sales and distribution strategies in the future.
