$215MILLION DISCRIMINATION CLAIM AGAINST OTTAWA CITY

A judge has ruled that taxi plate-holders can stand together to fight Ottawa City Hall and claim that the city’s new taxi rules are discriminatory.  Taxi plate-holders have common beefs with the city’s vehicle-for-hire bylaw, which has allowed Uber to be street legal in the capital
The plate-holders have pointed to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, arguing that the city’s new taxi rules are discriminatory since many are members of minority groups.
The statement of claim, which was filed in 2016, has the taxi plaintiffs asking for $215 million in damages from the city.
