A failed Australian taxi-industry disruptor has told a court that Uber began illegally operating its ridesharing service in Australia a decade ago to gain an unfair advantage over competitors.
FILE - An Uber sign is displayed inside a car in Palatine, Ill., Feb. 10, 2022. A failed Australian taxi industry disruptor has on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, begun its law suit against Uber claiming the U.S. giant began illegally operating ride sharing in Australia to gain an unfair advantage over competitors.
“Uber is a company that quite deliberately set out to break the law in the hope that they could do it at such mass scale that they would ultimately be able to pressure people to allow them to then operate lawfully, and they did so intending to gain a competitive advantage,” Hodge told the court in opening his case.
But UberX now dominates the Australian rideshare market and GoCatch, launched in 2014, departed the transport industry in 2021. “We are fortunate to be in a position to go to court as we believe that is the only pathway for Uber to be held accountable,” Campbell added.
