After a decade of legal proceedings, Ontario Superior Court Justice Marc Smith found on May 13, 2024 that the City of Ottawa was “negligent” in not enforcing its own by-laws regarding Uber, which he deemed to be “a bandit Taxi company.” He awarded the plaintiffs $213,000,000 in damages. Plaintiffs including Metro Taxi and the City of Ottawa as the defendant have now spent two years attempting to determine whether the damages should be assessed in the aggregate, as Metro Taxi argues, or individually, as the City of Ottawa wishes.
