SCL: CJEU Judgment: Uber is a Transport Service: "The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that the Uber business model is that of a transport service not an information society service
In Case C-434/15 Asociación Profesional Elite Taxi v Uber Systems Spain SL the CJEU had to consider a claim against Uber Systems Spain from taxi drivers in which it was alleged that Uber engaged in misleading practices and acts of unfair competition. The Spanish court had referred the question of whether the services provided by Uber are to be regarded as transport services, information society services or a combination of both. The extent to which Uber’s drivers had to meet licensing and related requirements turned on that question.
The Court held that the intermediation system of Uber is not a game-changer and the activities of the non-professional drivers using Uber to connect with potential passengers amount to a service in the field of transport." 'via Blog this'
