Another legal tangle for Apple in Portugal? Just days after a consumer rights group in the country said it was preparing to bring legal action against Apple over the wording of its AppleCare warranty service, it has emerged that an IT reseller and distributor called Taboada & Barros is already suing Apple over claims of price fixing and unfair trade practices, asking for 40 million ($49 million) in damages.According to a report in the Portuguese-language Apple blog iPhoneTuga--citing details first reported in the Portuguese weekly newspaper Sol--the suit stretches back to February but seems to have only been made public now, in light of the action being taken by the Portuguese Association for Consumer Protection (DECO). Unlike the DECO case -- which has a precedent in Italy, where Apple was fined $1.2 million over a similar matter -- this lawsuit is less cut and dry.
