LONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Apple (AAPL.O) on Thursday lost a London lawsuit accusing the U.S. tech company of abusing its dominant position by charging app developers an unfair 30% commission through its App Store.
The Competition Appeal Tribunal ruled against Apple after a trial of the lawsuit, brought on behalf of around 20 million iPhone and iPad users in the United Kingdom and valued at up to 1.5 billion pounds ($2.01 billion), earlier this year.
The case was the first mass lawsuit against a tech giant to come to trial under Britain’s fledgling class action-style regime, with many other cases waiting in the wings. ($1 = 0.7451 pounds)
