Uber allowed to operate in London again after judge overturns ban

• https://www.cnbc.com by Arjun Kharpal

Uber can continue operating in London after a judge overturned a ban in the U.K. capital on Tuesday.

Uber was granted a 15-month license, with some broad conditions. The ride-hailing firm will have to provide regulators with the results of an independent review into procedure and safety every six months. It will also have to update UK regulators about any relevant changes to company policy or governance.

The regulatory agency Transport for London (TFL) accused Uber last year of showing a "lack of corporate responsibility" in relation to "public safety and security," and failed to renew a license that would allow the U.S. ride-hailing service to operate in London. Uber had been allowed to continue its business in London while it appealed last October's ban.
