Uber stripped of London licence due to lack of corporate responsibility
Source: The Guardian
Uber’s application for a new licence in London has been rejected on the basis that the company is not a “fit and proper” private car hire operator.
...
The current licence expires on 30 September but Uber has 21 days to appeal and can continue to operate until that process expires.
...
TfL said that it had rejected the company’s application to renew its licence because “Uber’s approach and conduct demonstrate a lack of corporate responsibility” in relation to reporting serious criminal offences, obtaining medical certificates and driver background checks.
The licensing body also said it was concerned by Uber’s use of Greyball, software that can be used to block regulatory bodies from gaining full access to its app and undertaking regulatory or law enforcement duties.
