Appeal court restores Apple anti-monopoly monitor

A monitor looking at Apple’s anti-monopoly policies can resume his work but must stick to strict limits spelled out by the judge who appointed him, an appeal court panel has said.

The three-judge panel of the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued the order after hearing arguments last week on Apple’s request that the monitor’s work be suspended until the appeal court decided whether it was proper to appoint him. That ruling could be months away.
