Uber faces a multimillion-pound lawsuit from London's black cab drivers in a revival of the longstanding dispute over the operation of the ride-hailing app in the UK capital. The action, which will be filed in the High Court on Thursday, alleges that Uber improperly obtained a licence from Transport for London in 2012 and therefore took business away from other drivers unlawfully. The value of the claim is estimated at a minimum of £250m, with each of the 10,500 black cab drivers potentially eligible for compensation of up to £25,000, according to RGL Management, the litigation claims management company representing them.
