Google has won an appeal against a EUR 1.5B competition fine from the European Commission, Javier Espinoza of The Financial Times reports. The E.U.’s General Court said that while it accepted “most of the commission’s assessments,” it annulled the hefty fine set against Google in the case. Additionally, the General Court found the commission had failed to “take into account all the relevant circumstances in its assessment of the duration of the contractual clauses it found to be unfair.” The commission will likely appeal this ruling.
