US Federal Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has vacated the certification of a class action lawsuit against Apple over its app store monopoly. This decision effectively ends one of the longest cases against the company, which was filed back in 2011.
According to the judge, the plaintiffs’ and plaintiffs’ experts have an “unreliable and flawed” methodology that does not accurately determine the damages of all parties to the claim. The case file even notes duplicate names, such as clients Robert Pepper and Rob Pepper, as well as mixed-up transfers of people with the same name.
The solution seriously complicates the situation for users. Without the consequences of a class action, each of them will have to go to court. separately. This is a legal victory for Apple. The company said it does not comply with safety and security rules in the App Store.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs expressed disappointment in the decision and said they were considering further steps, including a possible appeal. [9to5]
