Uber faces legal actions in yet another country

Uber is facing a multimillion-dollar joint legal action by taxi drivers in Canada's biggest city Toronto. The drivers are seeking £198m in damages and an injunction to stop the taxi-booking app from operating in the province of Ontario. The action alleges that services like Uber X and Uber XL have created an "enormous marketplace" for illegal transportation in the city. Those services use contract drivers who are not licensed taxi operators. The legal action was filed by law firm Sutts, Strosberg LLP and named cab driver Dominic Konjevic as the plaintiff. The firm said the case represents all taxi drivers and companies in the province and if a judge agrees to hear the case, drivers and companies can choose not to be involved.
