United Kingdom: Competition Appeal Tribunal rejected Apple's application for permission to appeal ruling finding that Apple imposed exclusionary practices in App Store

On 13 November 2025, the Competition Appeal Tribunal rejected Apple's application for permission to appeal the Tribunal's ruling which found Apple responsible for imposing exclusionary practices in the App Store (Kent v Apple). The Tribunal rejected Apple's grounds for appeal, noting that Apple's non-quantitative challenges did not aim to identify irrationality that could amount to an appeal on a point of law, whereas on questions of quantum the Tribunal enjoyed a wide margin of discretion.
