Apple fires back at court’s ‘punitive’ App Store order in Epic Games case
Apple is pushing back on the original outcome, and asking to have the case assigned to a different judge if it is sent back to the district court.
As reported by Law360, in a new appeals brief filed Monday, Apple challenges the district court order that bars it from charging any commission on in-app purchases made outside of its ecosystem. In Monday’s filing, Apple said the updated order effectively rewrites the rules and punishes it for conduct that isn’t illegal under California’s Unfair Competition Law (UCL). Vacating the new injunction that bans all commissions on external purchases Striking down the five additional restrictions on steering (such as button design, disclosure templates, and where external links can appear in the app) Reversing the civil contempt finding Terminating all injunctive relief based on new California precedent (an argument the judge has rejected in the past) Reassigning the case to a new judge if the case goes back to the district court
