Google to face damages claims for up to 25 billion euros over its digital advertising by a law firm on behalf of publishers.

Google is sued by British and Dutch courts over anticompetitive conduct in the digital advertising market.

Google’s adtech has recently drawn scrutiny from antitrust regulators following complaints from publishers.

“It is time that Google owns up to its responsibilities and pays back the damages it has caused to this important industry. That is why today we are announcing these actions across two jurisdictions to obtain compensation for EU and UK publishers,” Damien Geradin at law firm Geradin Partners said in a statement on Tuesday.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The British claim at the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal will seek to recover compensation for lost revenue from the sale of advertising space on the websites of news publishers and any site funded by online advertising.

The Dutch claim is open to publishers affected by Google’s actions. Litigation funder Harbour is funding both lawsuits.
