Judgment in relation to a Collective Proceedings Order application dated 25 July 2023 whereby Christine Riefa Class Representative Limited, the Proposed Class Representative, applied to commence opt-out collective proceedings against the Proposed Defendants on behalf of all those who had purchased Apple (including Beatsbranded) electronic products at retail level in the United Kingdom during the period of the claim.
This Judgment refused the application for certification of the proposed Collective Proceedings on the basis that the Tribunal did not consider, on a cumulative assessment, that the Proposed Class Representative satisfied the authorisation condition under Rule 77(1)(a) of the Competition Appeal Tribunal Rules 2015 to act fairly and adequately in the interests of class members.
