A German court has ordered taxi service Uber to stop operating commercial services and threatened severe fines if the company breaches any transport laws.
A Frankfurt regional court said that if Uber broke the order, it would be fined 250,000 Euro, according to Reuters.
The Frankfurt court hasn’t stopped Uber from operating its service for taxis and limos.
Uber said it will appeal against the decision with its German general manager saying it regretted the decision the court made.
Aber will continue to offer its UberBLACK and UberTAXI services in Germany.
A company called Taxi Deutschland filed the suit against Uber because it would replace qualified taxi driers with unlicensed casual workers.
The judges appear to believe that Uber doesn’t just violate German laws, but European laws too.
