The ruling
On 19 October 2026, the High Court issued its judgment in White & Ors v Uber London Ltd & Ors. The proceedings included claims by nearly 13,300 London black cab drivers and claims associated with former private hire operators.
The claims were dismissed on limitation grounds. The court's determination of the time-limit issue should not be presented as a full trial finding that every underlying allegation was true or false.
What was alleged?
The claimants made allegations concerning Uber's historical licensing arrangements and related competitive impacts. Uber contested the allegations. The judge addressed whether the claims had been brought in time.
