A case in the US District Court for the Northern District of California considering the fees Apple can charge for transactions outside its App Store is to continue, after the Supreme Court rejected an emergency appeal.

The top court had earlier granted a one-day pause to give it more time to consider Apple’s request to suspend the lower court’s proceedings, while the Supreme Court considers a related appeal to a contempt-of-court decision.

The California district court case is part of the long-running antitrust battle between Apple and Epic Games that could have far-reaching effects on the terms Apple imposes on developers who use its App Store.
