Google appealed against the EU’s decision a second time, petitioning the EU’s highest court — the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) — which on Tuesday handed down another ruling that won’t be to the search giant’s liking.
The CJEU agreed with the General Court’s analysis. “[I]n light of the characteristics of the market and the specific circumstances of the case, Google’s conduct was discriminatory and did not fall within the scope of competition on the merits,” the court wrote in a press release.
