Epic's bid to sue Apple over Fortnite in UK rejected

Fortnite

was pulled from Apple and Google's app stores worldwide after it broke

rules - which it claims are unfair - about in-app purchases.Epic had wanted to take both US companies to court in the UK, alleging they broke competition law.But the Competition Appeal Tribunal gave it permission to pursue Google.That case will relate to specific claims about how Fortnite was pulled from Android's Google Play store.The

focus of the case was whether the "out of jurisdiction" US companies

could be dealt with by British courts, which requires permission of the

Tribunal.All three companies are US-based.
