Apple $450 million e-book settlement wins court approval
Quote:
I'm curious about the initial paragraph I posted. I thought this was a mutually agreed upon settlement, so how did "apple win approval"? |

Actually, I think that the settlement is void if Apple wins the appeal and Apple doesn't have to pay anything.

Of course Apple doesn't have to pay anything if Apple wins the appeal. In any case, I was simply providing a synopsis of the part of the article relevant to the question in the OP. |

There are a few things that happen when an appeal is upheld and sent back to the original judge. Either the case is simply dismissed, a new trial is held or some sort of settlement is reached. |
