The City of Toronto will file the paperwork to take another legal crack at shutting down Uber [torontosun.com], but it hasn’t decided whether it will actually follow through.
Lawyer Matthew Cornett confirmed Friday the city will serve a notice of appeal Tuesday to challenge Judge Sean Dunphy’s Superior Court ruling.
“This will preserve our right to appeal (within the 30 day-limit),” Cornett said.
Last month, Dunphy denied the city’s application for an injunction against the ridesharing company, ruling Uber isn’t operating a taxi cab or limousine service.
A lawyer for the city had argued Uber should fall under the same licensing requirements that govern taxi brokerages because “if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then you should call it a duck.”
Dunphy disagreed.
