There has been a historic settlement reached in the Uber class action, with Uber to pay $272 million – the fifth highest class action resolution ever in Australian legal history.
As a result, the Supreme Court trial due to begin today will not be proceeding. The Court will need to approve the settlement as being in the best interests of group members, and work is now underway on that process.
If you are a registered group member, you will be receiving further details soon.
In the interim, the Uber class action team can still be contacted on 1800 291 047 or via Uber@mauriceblackburn.com.au
