European Union — General Court (European Union) & International — European Commission

European Union — General Court (European Union): The European Union — General Court (European Union)'s initial judgment, which upheld the bulk of the International — European Commission's case and reduced the fine, was largely affirmed by the European Union — Court of Justice of the European Union, demonstrating the soundness of its legal reasoning.

International — European Commission: The International — European Commission, as the EU's competition authority, successfully brought and defended the antitrust case against Alphabet Inc., resulting in the upholding of a €4.1 billion fine.
