That seems doubtful.

For one, on what basis would they 'return' the money? There was no fixed price, as such, for the ebooks (prior to the fixing). So how will they calculate the difference? $12.99 minus $9.99? $8.99? $5.99?

Since the price was varying across stores and depending on what discounts vendors chose to give, I don't see this working. Probably the most that would happen is that they would have to stop fixing prices in the future.

More importantly, though, I don't think they will lose the case. We have the might of Apple Inc., along with five of the largest publishers in the world, and all the lawyers that they have on their side...
