  The decision is a setback for the Commission, which fined Google €8 billion in three competition cases. Just last week, €2.42 billion was confirmed as a final decision.

  Google appealed the fine in June 2019, arguing its practices were designed to ensure a consistent user experience. The European Commission now has two months and 10 days to appeal the decision to the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

  So, it’s just a small part of the fine they got, let’s see what happens with the appeal.

  Wait, how is this a “top court” if the decision is still appealable? Seems like a clickbait headline to me.

    It’s not always true that appeals must go to some “higher court”. In some countries appeals may end up before the same judge, or another judge from the same court.

      Okay, but (as per the article) the allegedly-“top” court that made the ruling, the European Union’s General Court (EGC), is not the same as the court that the lawsuit would be appealed to, the European Court of Justice (ECJ). How can the EGC be the “top” court if the ECJ is above it?
