A São Paulo court ordered Apple to pay 100 million reais and ordered the company to sell cell phones along with chargers.. The decision was made at first
A São Paulo court ordered Apple to pay 100 million reais and ordered the company to sell cell phones along with chargers.. The decision was made at first instance this Thursday (13) by Judge Caramuru Afonso Francisco of the 18th Civil Court of the Court of Sao Paulo.
Shortly after the decision was made by the court, Apple said it would appeal. The confusion over the sale of the manufacturer’s devices in Brazil began a few months ago. The Brazilian government recently banned the company from selling iPhones without a charger in the country..
The amount of 100 million reais, which Apple was convicted of, relates to social compensation. This is because the process is a response to a public civil lawsuit filed by the Brazilian Association of Borrowers, Consumers and Taxpayers (ABMCC).
If Apple loses the case and pays the fine prescribed by the Sao Paulo court, the amount will be returned to the consumer protection fund. In addition, contributions of 10 million reais have yet to be paid to the Association.
The lawyer in charge of the case, Nelson Vilians, said this type of sale, practiced by Apple, where users need to buy a phone and then a charger to keep it charged, could be set up as an upsell.
“I also convict the defendant of the obligation to do, that is, that, since the final decision of the court, he only sells his products from the final decision of the court, only sells his telephone sets of all models. sold by him domestically while the appropriate power adapters are provided to his new customers,” emphasizes the process.
In case of non-compliance with the amount stipulated by the São Paulo justice process, Apple will have to bear a loss of about 1% per month, which will be capitalized annually: in amounts as of the date of filing of the claim with interest for late payment in the amount of 1% per month, capitalized annually.
