This is an opt-out claim on behalf of UK based app developers at the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal, to obtain damages for losses caused by Google.

If you are a UK domiciled third-party app developer and received revenue from the sale of your app via the Play Store, or from transactions within your app from August 2018 then you could benefit from this claim against Google.

You will automatically be included in the class and potentially eligible for compensation in due course if (1) the Competition Appeal Tribunal gives permission for this case to proceed and (2) you do not actively opt out of the claim.

The ‘opt-out’ procedure is often used in class actions. In this case, it simply means that you’ll automatically be included in this claim if you are an affected app developer, unless you state you’d prefer not to be involved, and opt-out. Should you wish to opt-out, you will not need to let us know until further down the line if the claim is given permission to proceed by the Competition Appeal Tribunal, which will be covered extensively in the press.
