We've heard quite a bit about the letter from TfL giving the reasons why Uber would not be relicensed.
But there are far reaching implications that haven't yet been explored by our trade orgs.
The letter (signed by Helen Chapman) points to the fact that an audit of Uber's operating system, was not carried out until late 2017!
If Uber's operating system was never fully audited, why did two top TfL officers sign off and release a statement to Managing Director Leon Daniels, back in 2014....saying the app was legal?
See this document, click link below;
Reasons given for the decision given by this dynamic duo were:
a) ULL (as the licensed operator) does make provision for the invitation or exceptions of bookings and also accepts private hire vehicle bookings in London.
{This we now know to be a lie, Uber have admitted on oath in two court cases, this is not the case.}
b) Neither Uber BV (A related but distinct company based in the Netherlands) or Uber drivers, make provision for the invitation or acceptance of private hire vehicle bookings in London, or accept such bookings.
{This has now been proved to be another lie.}
The letter went on to say :
Therefore, ULL it's not in breach of his license obligations, nor is it guilty of a corporate structure that facilitates other parties breaches of ULL's license obligations.
They then go on to say that ULL's shouldn't be suspended or revoked....
The letter to Leon Daniels, was then qsigned off by chief operating officer, surface transport, Garrett Emmerson and TFL's General Council Howard Carter.
Questions need to be asked as to why two prominent TfL officers signed Uber off as legal?
There is now a mountain of evidence in the form of letters, emails and phone calls, obtained under freedom of information requests.
TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT :
Another question that needs to be thrown into the mix:
Back in 2014, Chairman of the UCG Len Martin wanted an approval system for all apps to ensure they complied with the law. His demand was included in the demonstrations carried out by the UCG.
Why did Helen Chapman, general manager of TfLTPH, refuse point blank to have such an approval system for apps?
