Uber wins a bid to dismiss mass lawsuits brought by thousands of London black cab drivers and two former private hire companies, with courts throwing out the claims. Outlets report the dispute centers on allegations relating to how Uber obtained and used access to private hire vehicle operating licences in London.

Coverage diverges slightly on the headline figures and how the cases are described. Some outlets cite a £250 million claim focused on black cab drivers and say a judge rules it is time-barred, meaning it was filed too late. Others describe two linked lawsuits with a combined value around £340 million, also brought in 2024, that Uber seeks to have struck out. The Next Web notes that while reporting relied on Reuters and that a copy of the High Court judgment was initially not available in full.

Overall, the outlets agree that Uber’s legal challenge succeeds and that the dismissal ends the current litigation unless further action is taken.
