Google Display Advertising Competition Claim

You may be owed compensation from Google

Competition Claim Against Google: For abusing its dominant position in the display advertising market

Were you an advertiser who paid Google for display advertising services between 2015 and 2026?

If you paid Google, directly or through an agency, for display advertising services displayed in the UK between 1 October 2015 and 6 May 2026, you may be entitled to compensation as part of a new collective legal action.

The Case Against Google

On 6 May 2025, KP Law, acting for AGC Collective Actions Limited, filed an application for a collective proceedings order with the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal

The proposed claim accuses Google of abusing its dominant position in the display advertising market, resulting in inflated costs and reduced competition, to the detriment of UK advertisers with the value of the claim potentially being in excess of £3Bn.

The Competition Appeal Tribunal’s summary of the case can be found here.

What's being alleged?

Higher Costs

Advertisers received a lower return on advertising spend.

Lack of Choice

Google has restricted sources of supply of display advertising resulting in lower quality of advertising for advertisers.

Breach of UK Competition Law

Google’s practices violated legal protections designed to ensure a fair marketplace.

Who is Included?

You may be part of the claim if you:

  • Paid for Google display advertising between 1 October 2015 and 6 May 2026
  • Advertised in the United Kingdom
  • Paid either directly to Google or through third-party intermediaries

If the Tribunal certifies the claim, you don’t need to do anything to be included – it’s being brought on an opt-out basis. This means eligible advertisers are automatically included unless they choose to opt out.
