London Black Cab Drivers Sue Uber for £250 Million Over Licensing Disputes

Over 10,500 London black cab drivers have filed a lawsuit against Uber, alleging the company obtained its license unlawfully and misled Transport for London.

The lawsuit, representing more than 10,500 drivers, claims Uber misled TfL about its ride-booking operations between 2012 and 2018, leading to unfair competition.
Uber has consistently denied the allegations, stating that the claims are 'completely unfounded' and affirming its lawful operation in London.
The claim could amount to £250 million, with potential compensation of up to £25,000 per driver if successful.
RGL Management, representing the drivers, emphasizes the significant impact on black cab drivers who have lost earnings and market share due to Uber's practices.
The legal action revives a dispute first raised in 2019, with a cut-off date approaching for more drivers to join the lawsuit.
