During a hearing on Monday for Epic’s lawsuit against Apple, the federal judge slammed Epic’s claims regarding App Store’s domination and payment commission requirements. Epic was seeking a court order to force Apple to unban Fortnite from App Store, but things did not go in the company’s favor during the hearing.
In a virtual hearing via Zoom, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California said during the hearing that the case should go to trial before a jury, which is likely to happen by July 2021. The Judge noted that the case is important for anti-trust law and it is important to understand whether people are actually concerned with the ‘security issues’. Epic is unlikely to opt for a jury and would be looking to get a bench trial, while Apple seemed to be open to a jury.
