Uber wins bid to throw out UK mass lawsuit by black cab drivers

Uber ​on Monday ​said it had ‌won its ​bid to throw out two linked ‌lawsuits valued at around £340 million ($453 million) brought by thousands of London black cab drivers ‌and two former private hire companies. The ‌ride-hailing app was sued in 2024 over allegations about how it obtained a private ⁠hire ​vehicle ⁠operating licence in the British capital, with the ⁠claimants alleging Uber gave "misleading and inaccurate ​information" to Transport for London.

Uber denied ⁠the allegations and also argued the ⁠lawsuits were ​filed after the six-year limitation period for bringing such a claim, ⁠meaning they should be thrown out. A ⁠copy ⁠of the High Court's ruling was not immediately available.
