Apple Inc. lost its bid to stop court-appointed e-books monitor Michael Bromwich in his tracks, at least for now. But Apple’s lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher nevertheless succeeded Monday in curtailing Bromwich’s authority as they continue fighting the government’s antitrust case.
In a brief order issued on Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied Apple’s motion for a stay of Bromwich’s activities as compliance monitor in the case, ruling that the tech giant hadn’t shown it was suffering irreparable harm. But the court also clarified the limits of Bromwich’s role, emphasizing that he doesn’t have carte blanche to investigate Apple’s compliance with antitrust laws.
