Apple has been reportedly relived temporarily of its ebooks antitrust-compliance monitor, after the tech giant alleged that the court-appointed monitor had been asking for a hefty fee and acting too intrusively.
The federal court had appointed antitrust-compliance monitor, Michael Bromwich, after Apple was found guilty of illegally fixing prices of ebooks with publishers and indulging in unfair trade practices last year.
According to The Verge, Apple had filed a complaint against the monitor with the court regarding his heavy fee and nature of investigations, in which Bromwich has argued that the tech giant failed to cooperate.
Bromwich has been removed at least until a federal court can hear Apple's motion to have the monitor fully removed during its appeal of the decision, the report added.
