Black cab drivers have lost a High Court challenge to strike down Uber's licence to operate in London.
Dismissing the case, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett, said the judge who granted the licence - Lord Arbuthnot - was not biased.
Lord Burnett, who is the top judge in England and Wales, struck down the claim against the 15-month permit granted to Uber. "Having ascertained all the circumstances bearing on the suggestion that the judge was biased, we consider that those circumstances would not lead a fair-minded and informed observer to conclude that there was a real possibility that the judge was biased in this case," Lord Burnett said.
