Uber has agreed to pay $272 million (US$178 million) to Australian taxi drivers, in what will be the fifth-largest class action settlement in Australian legal history, according to lawyers acting for the plaintiffs.
Maurice Blackburn Lawyers said the Supreme Court of Victoria will sit this morning, March 18, to finalise a case that began in 2019 as an action by a single Melbourne taxi driver, Nicos Andrianaki, but grew to include more than 8,000 other taxi and charter vehicle drivers.
