The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) has succeeded in its bid to strike out a negligence suit by 102 taxi drivers, according to a report by The Star.
According to High Court judge Justice Su Geok Yiam, the ruling was made on the grounds that the taxi drivers should have filed the suit by way of a judicial review, and not a writ of summons together with statement of claim.
This was because the remedies pleaded was a mandamus order against SPAD to carry out its duty under the law. She also added that Uber, Grab and Blacklane were not named in the lawsuit together with SPAD.
In December last year, the commission was sued for alleged negligence in taking action to ban the ride-sharing services. The plaintiffs sought a declaration from SPAD that Uber, Grab and Blacklane operations are illegal, as well as general damages, interest, costs and relief deemed fit by the court.
