Uber dodges £340M cabbie lawsuit over missed legal deadline

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Uber has successfully avoided a £340 million lawsuit filed by London black cab drivers. The drivers accused the ride-hailing company of misleading Transport for London, but a judge dismissed the case because the drivers missed the legal deadline to file their suit. This ruling means Uber will not have to pay the substantial damages initially sought. AI
