Google is facing another legal action linked to its app business in Taiwan, after an earlier court decision was overturned in its favour.

The Android giant had been fined TWD1 million for not complying with the consumer laws which apply in this market, by refusing to grant customers a seven-day trial period on apps bought from its Android Market/Google Play store.

According to AFP, the Taipei High Administrative Court has now quashed the earlier judgement, stating that the city’s government should not interfere in a dispute between a company and its customers.

The current decision is set to be appealed, with the Taipai city government stating that “we urge Google to respect and protect consumers’ rights”.

Apple has also previously fallen under the eyes of the Taiwan authorities for its App Store policies, although it has subsequently complied.

The Point Daily said that Google has stopped selling paid apps in Taiwan as a result of the dispute.
