WATCH: A closer look at Judge Amy Coney Barrett
The Supreme Court just made a major ruling regarding a class-action lawsuit pursued by a group of Apple consumers.
The Supreme Court on Monday said that iPhone users can proceed with a class-action lawsuit against Apple over its control of app sales in a landmark ruling that gives consumers the ability to bring antitrust cases again corporations.
A group of consumers had sued Apple, claiming that the company’s monopoly over its App Store led to inflated app prices. Apple disputed the legality of the suit, arguing the consumers could only sue the app developers.
Interestingly enough, Justice Brett Kavanaugh departed from the conservative majority and sided with liberal justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan.
It’s worth noting that– at the time of his confirmation– many anti-Kavanaugh #resisters warned that he would side with big corporations.
