What Does an FCA Judgment Mean in Australia?
The citation Epic Games Inc v Apple Inc (No 2) [2026] FCA 1552 identifies an Australian Federal Court judgment.
It is not a decision of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.1
Read the citation
“2026” is the judgment year, “FCA” identifies the court and “1552” is the judgment number.
“No 2” distinguishes the decision from an earlier judgment in the proceedings. It does not establish that the decision was an appeal.
Identify the decision’s stage
The Apple decision was made by a single judge and concerned remedies following earlier liability findings.
An appeal in the Full Court is a different procedural stage. A High Court appeal is different again.
Read the actual orders
The Apple orders have their own definitions and geographic limits. Those terms matter more than the registry location.
A judgment may also provide reasoning relevant to other disputes, but that does not make its orders directly enforceable against every business operating in a similar market.1
