A billion-pound legal action against Google is moving to trial, allowing UK developers to claim compensation for Play Store fees. The trial, set for October 2026, follows accusations of Google abusing its market dominance by charging excessive fees up to 30% on app sales. Affected businesses may claim up to £1.04 billion if the court rules in their favor. This scrutiny of Google's practices is part of broader investigations into its compliance with digital market regulations, with parallels drawn to Apple’s App Store controversies.
The Tribunal's decision is a significant step towards ensuring redress for small businesses in the UK, addressing the excessive fees charged by Google on app sales.
Google has then used its dominant position to require developers to pay excessive and unfair commissions on all their sales of digital content to customers.
