Trial starts in taxi industry's $215-million lawsuit over city's handling of Uber

The plaintiffs also argued that the city’s conduct related to Uber discriminated against taxi plate holders ⁠— more than 90 per cent of whom were members of minority groups ⁠— in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Ontario Human Rights Code. There’s also an allegation that the fees the city has collected from plate holders and brokers under its taxi bylaw are actually illegal taxes.

The city has regulated taxi services in Ottawa for many years, Smith wrote in 2018, requiring that all taxi operators and brokers hold a license and consistently limiting the number of plates issued. The 2016 bylaw changes created a new class of license for private transportation companies such as Uber.
