Digital Health Diagnosed Episode 11: Fighting Tech Giants - Coll v. Google with Liz Coll

This second part to Episode 3 Fighting Tech Giants - Kent V. Apple, examines Liz Coll's precedent-setting against Google - Coll v. Google.

Dr. Kent and Ms. Coll also talk about their experiences of leading on these cases of such magnitude where collectively they are seeking more than £2.5bn in damages from Apple and Google!

Liz Coll is the class representative in the case brought by Hausfeld. Liz’s claim is on behalf of all UK consumers and businesses who have spent money on digital content within the UK version of the Google Play Store.

Liz alleges that Google has breached competition law by excluding competition and/or charging an unlawful level of commission on digital purchases in the Google Play Store. As a result, consumers and businesses are very likely to have suffered financial loss and may be entitled to damages of around £1bn!!!
