10,000 London cabbies sue Uber for millions over taxi-booking rules

A group of more than 10,000 black cab drivers is suing Uber after accusing it of breaching taxi-booking rules in London, in a move which could cost the ride-hailing giant more than £250 million.

They allege that the company allowed its drivers to accept bookings directly from customers, rather than going through a central system like minicab services. RGL Management has filed the group action, known as BULiT21, on behalf of the London cabbies, who are being instructed by solicitors at law firm Mishcon de Reya.

It is understood there has been no communication between Uber and RGL Management since the claims were first raised in 2019. Garry White, a black cab driver for 36 years, said the claim seeks “justice and fair compensation” on behalf of London drivers.
