Uber Sues New York City Over Law Restricting Driver Deactivations

By

Uber Technologies (UBER) has sued New York City to block a new law that it says violates its constitutional rights by limiting its ability to deactivate drivers under its standards and policies, according to a complaint filed Tuesday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.

New York City's Local Law 52 of 2026 on "wrongful deactivations," which takes effect on July 28, would "force Uber to keep drivers on its platform even if Uber has determined that they have violated its standards, agreements, and policies," according to the complaint. The company is seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to block the law.

Uber said in the complaint that if the law takes effect, it would "impair Uber's contracts, compel the communication and disclosure of sensitive and protected information that Uber would not otherwise provide," and could lead to reputational harm and loss of business and goodwill.

Uber did not immediately reply to a request for comment from.
