In 2018, Apple and Amazon reached an agreement that allowed regional Amazon stores to sell Apple and Beats hardware. The agreement has been legally problematic for both tech giants ever since, with one lawsuit coming back from the dead in the UK.
Reuters reports the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal permitted for part of a dismissed consumer lawsuit against Apple and Amazon to resume on Monday. The decision revives the accusations of price fixing and artificially limiting sales, along with the threat of financial penalties for the firms.
