Uber
Friday's filing is a short notification of?Uber's intention to appeal rather than the detailed grounds. A hearing is likely to take place on Dec. 11, a spokesman at Britain's Judicial Office told Reuters
Ubersubmitted a court appeal on Friday to overturn a decision byLondon's transport regulator that stripped the taxi app of its operatinglicencein one of its most important markets.
Transport forLondon(TfL) shocked the Silicon Valley firm last month by deeming it unfit to run a taxi service and refusing to renew itslicence, citing its approach to reporting serious criminal offences and background checks on drivers.
Friday's filing is a short notification ofUber's intention to appeal rather than the detailed grounds. A hearing is likely to take place on Dec. 11, a spokesman at Britain's Judicial Office told Reuters.
Uber, criticised byLondonMayor Sadiq Khan for employing an "army of lawyers", said that it hoped to keep talking to TfL to find a way forward.
"While we have today filed our appeal so thatLondoners can continue using our app, we hope to continue having constructive discussions with Transport forLondon," anUberspokesman said.
"As our new CEO has said, we are determined to make things right."

New global Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi met TfL Commissioner Mike Brown for talks earlier this month, which both sides said were "constructive" as the $70-billion firm tries to repair its relationship with the regulator.
The appeal was submitted to Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday in the first stage of a legal process which could take months or years to reach a conclusion.
Uber's 40,000 drivers in the British capital will be able to continue operating until theappeals process is exhausted.
Khan, a politician from the opposition Labour Party who is also chairman of TfL, has long criticisedUber's British management and backed the regulator's decision on Thursday.
"The courts now will consider the appeal fromUberand of course TfL will defend the decision they made," he said during a monthly question time session.
