A ruling that ordered Quebec to pay more than $143 million, plus interest, to compensate thousands of former taxi permit holders has been appealed both by the provincial government and class members.
Quebec Superior Court ruled last summer that the provincial government illegally expropriated the permits of taxi drivers without fair compensation after the Uber online ride-hailing service forcibly made its entry into the market a decade ago, a decision that Quebec is asking the Court of Appeal to set aside.
