United Cabbies Group, representing London's black cab drivers, has challenged a decision made last June that granted Uber a 15-month probationary licence. Arbuthnot’s ruling was also “tainted by actual or apparent bias,” the group said in its filings for the hearing. The ruling was overturned by the Court of Appeal on Tuesday Uber said the bias claim is weak because Arbuthnot was not aware at the time of the ruling that her husband worked for a firm advising Uber investor Qatar Investment Authority.
