Google's £260M App Store Fee Deal: Law Professor Argues Fairness for Developers

A proposed settlement of £260 million in a claim over Google's app store commissions has been pitched as fair for UK developers by a law professor.

The professor urged the Competition Appeal Tribunal on September 15, 2026 to approve the settlement, which would give developers a practical route to compensation.

Google's proposed deal is worth $350 million and aims to resolve a long-standing dispute over its app store fees.
