伦敦,10月19日:优步周一表示,其驳回两起关联诉讼的申请已获成功,这两起诉讼由数千名伦敦黑司机和两家前私人租车公司提起,涉及金额约为3.4亿英镑(4.53亿美元)。
LONDON, Oct 19 : 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.
该叫车应用程序于2024年被起诉,指控其在英国首都获取私人租车车辆运营许可证的方式存在问题,原告称优步向伦敦交通局提供了“误导和不准确的信息”。
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.
优步否认了这些指控,并辩称这些诉讼是在提出此类诉讼的六年时效期之后提起的,因此应被驳回。高等法院的裁决副本目前尚未立即可得。
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.
