Uber Ban In Germany Overturned

A German judge has overturned a nationwide ban on one of the services offered by the alternative taxi firm Uber.

The injunction which temporarily prevented Uber from operating in Germany has now been overturned. A temporary ban halted the start-up from offering its UberPop ride-sharing service in the country.

Frankfurt Regional Court ruled that taxi companies in Germany had waited too long to request an emergency injunction.

While the temporary injunction against Uber has now been dropped, the case will go on as part of an ongoing civil lawsuit brought by the German Taxi Association, Taxi Deutschland.

“The taxi industry accepts competitors who comply with the law. Uber does not,” it said in a statement.

Get R150 off your first Uber ride – HERE! You’d be stupid not to.
