Uber Australia Ride-Hailing Class Action

Brattle supported outside experts in a class action brought under state transport legislation by taxi drivers, owner-operators, license holders, and network operators against Uber. The case arose from Uber’s entry into the Australian ride-hailing market in 2014, which was alleged to have occurred without regulatory authorisation. We provided expert analysis of two-sided market economics and ride-hailing platform strategy, estimating claimed economic damages, including lost income and the decline in taxi license (medallion) values across multiple Australian states.
