Lawyers for Quebec taxi drivers will ask the Supreme Court to hear their case after a Quebec appeals court overturned a decision awarding the drivers around $219 million in compensation.
The roughly 7,000 taxi drivers represented in the class-action
lawsuit claim Quebec's 2019 taxi reform amounted to a disguised expropriation, The Gazette's Jacob Serebrin reports.
The reform included the end of Quebec's taxi-permit system, primarily in response to Uber’s arrival in the province.
