Brazilian court overturns injunction imposed on Apple's App Store


Following a report earlier today about Apple appealing a Brazilian antitrust regulator’s ruling on the App Store, the Brazilian courts...

According to a new Valor Econômico report, a Brazilian Federal Court judge has ruled that the decision by Cade, the Brazilian regulator, is “disproportionate and unnecessary.” The judge understood that the measures imposed by the regulator “change, in a sensitive and structural way” Apple’s business operation. Apple had previously appealed on the grounds that the changes requested were too complex and would take too long to be made, so the company wouldn’t be able to meet the 20-day deadline. Although the judge overturned the injunction, the Brazilian regulator can still appeal and the investigations will continue, which means that Apple could still be forced to enable sideloading in Brazil – although the company has been given more time to deal with the situation.
