Uber and Lyft can live on in Ottawa.
A Superior Court judge Wednesday released her decision on a judicial challenge of the City of Ottawa’s bylaw governing taxis and private transportation companies. Justice Maria Linhares de Sousa concluded the Ottawa taxi union didn’t prove that the bylaw exhibits bad faith or an illegal bonus scheme, as alleged by the cabbies.
The taxi union asked the court to quash the vehicle-for-hire bylaw and reinstate the former taxi-only licensing regime. The union claimed its opposition wasn’t about the value of taxi plates, but about the alleged unfairness of the dual-licensing system.
The court heard arguments over four days earlier this year.
The judge quashed part of the bylaw, however, related to taxi plate holders and brokers indemnifying the city in relation to collisions. City solicitor and clerk Rick O’Connor told council in a memo that staff will review the judgment and come forward with recommendations.
The court still needs to sort out if any costs will be awarded to either side.
The vehicle-for-hire bylaw has been in place since Sept. 30, 2016. Uber and Lyft are the two largest PTC licence-holders in Ottawa.
