A judge will begin hearing arguments in the taxi industry's $215 million class-action lawsuit against the city of Ottawa on Tuesday.
An Ottawa courtroom is the next stop this week for the taxi industry's legal fight with the city of Ottawa over the arrival of Uber and other ride-sharing services.
The city is using a system which penalizes taxi cab plate holders when a plate is sold. "They are charging a transfer fee when the asset is worthless." The taxi industry says the city allowed ride-sharing services to operate in Ottawa with "far fewer restrictions and with much lower costs than taxis."
The statement from Coventry Connections says while the city of Ottawa's taxi bylaw is still in effect, "the environment has changed completely" and the value of taxi plates have dropped.
