Did you purchase any Apple or Beats products in the UK since 31 October 2018?
If so, you may be entitled to compensation.



What is this website for?

This website explains the collective claim for compensation which is brought by JLP A&A Class Representative Limited, led by Justin Le Patourel against Apple and Amazon in respect of unlawful anticompetitive agreements they entered into. This legal action is brought as an 'opt-out' collective action, which means that you may be included in the proposed claim as a “class member” if you fall within the class definition.

The claim

JLP A&A Class Representative Limited claims that Apple and Amazon have breached competition law by entering into and implementing unlawful anticompetitive agreements which restricted third parties from reselling Apple and Beats products on Amazon. As a result, consumers paid higher prices for those Apple and Beats products when purchasing them from retailers in the UK.

What does this mean for you?

If you purchased Apple or Beats products from any retailer (online or in-store) in the UK from 31 October 2018, other than as part of a mobile network operator contract, you will be automatically included as a class member and may be eligible for compensation if the claim is successful.
