WASHINGTON: The US Supreme Court on June 6 let stand a lower court's decision to allow a class action lawsuit against Google Inc to proceed regarding claims that the company deceived California advertisers about the placement of Internet ads through its Adwords service.
The court decided not to hear Google's appeal of a ruling by the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals last September that the litigation could move forward as a class action representing advertisers who used the service between 2004 and 2008. Google is part of Alphabet Inc.
