EU Court rules Dutch courts can handle a anti-trust case against Apple's App store

The Court of Justice of the European Union on Tuesday ruled the Dutch tribunals have jurisdiction over a case brought against Apple's App Store by two local foundations over alleged anticompetitive conduct.

Apple had contended a Dutch court did not have jurisdiction as the alleged harmful event did not occur in the Netherlands.

That court had referred the question to the Court of Justice, based in Luxembourg.
