The move aims to eliminate the need for a jury trial and have a judge decide the case. Google argues that the jury could not handle the complex technical aspects of the case. But legal experts doubt the tactic will work.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Google over its alleged dominance of the online advertising market. The Justice Department alleges that Google has stifled competition and inflated prices for more than a decade. Google denies these accusations.
The amount was not disclosed, but Google says it was significantly less than the government’s initial estimates. Google believes this eliminates government claims for damages and makes jury trials unnecessary.
It seems unlikely that the Ministry of Justice will step back. They want a jury trial, arguing that this is the best way to hold Google accountable.
