Ruling of the Tribunal in relation to the Class Representative's application to amend the "Relevant Period" in the claim form from 15 November 2024 to the date of final judgment in these proceedings (23 October 2025).
Contrary to the Defendants' submissions, the Tribunal considered that it had the jurisdiction to revisit the terms of the judgment, insofar as they constitute an order or direction, pursuant to Rule 115(2) but such jurisdiction should be used carefully and sparingly.
However, given the structure of the collective proceedings regime, the importance of there being a point at which a class is "closed", questions of fairness to Apple and the importance of there being a meaningful opportunity for opt-in and opt-out processes to work meaningfully and effectively, the Tribunal refused the application.
