Uber

Abuse of dominant position

Stakeholders & Context:

  • A federation of 2,480 taxi drivers and 9 associations in a collective action against Uber France and Uber BV for unfair competition, filed in February 2021 with the Paris Commercial Court, unprecedented in France in terms of both scale and legal basis.

Our actions:

  • We conducted a thorough investigation of Uber’s international financial and non-financial communications and quantified the damages (€455 million claimed) through the concept of profitable fault, enabled by recent case law (Cass. com. 2020, No. 17-31.614) penalizing illicit competitive advantage.

Our expertise:

  • A pioneering action demonstrating Outmatch’s boldness, creativity, and agility in complex cases, leveraging the reclassification of Uber drivers as employees (Cass. 2020).
