A lawsuit the nonprofit House of Hope filed against the City of Dickson nearly three years ago was recently settled after a Dickson City Council vote this month. The settlement amount was $20,000, which was to pay for The House of Hope’s legal fees, said Dickson city attorney Jerry Smith. The House of Hope was seeking $300,000 based on the organization’s leadership belief that the city prevented the nonprofit from being able to “fulfill its religious mission to minister to the needs of those whom it serves” by voting against a homeless shelter in the Downtown Dickson area. In the lawsuit, the organization’s leadership said the plan was to provide faith-based counseling, a prayer room, food, clothing, shelter and transportation to “homeless and needy individuals.”

A group of US consumers has been given the go-ahead by the Supreme Court to sue Apple over app prices. The iPhone users argued that there is no alternative place to buy an iPhone app, but that Apple takes a 30% commission on every sale, so therefore they are being overcharged. They claim that this puts Apple in breach of anti-trust laws. Apple said that it was an agent for app developers and that it neither owned nor sold the apps itself.
Consumers can pursue a lawsuit complaining that iPhone apps cost too much, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday, adding to Apple’s woes that already include falling iPhone sales and a European investigation. The lawsuit could have major implications for the tech giant’s handling of the more than 2 million apps in Apple’s App Store, where users get much of the software for their smartphones. While most of those apps are free to download, some impose fees for people to use the software and subscribe to the services. In those cases, Apple charges a commission of 30%, a practice that the lawsuit contends unfairly drives up the price for the apps. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion that agreed the antitrust lawsuit can move forward in a lower court.
