But surely the point in the Taxify case was that TfL not happy with change of directors. If TfL happy with reconstituted Uber set up then they could issue new license and the end result is that Uber stays in business in London?
The bit I'm struggling with is TfL have already made a decision that those who have signed the Uber application are not fit and proper people. They could have easily re-licensed with more onerous conditions, but decided not to.

Anyway, since Uber and TfL in talks then there must be some kind of understanding that there's a mechanism whereby Uber can be relicensed without a full court hearing.
I'm not struggling with that one. IMO that was a charade, merely arranged by the Mayor to make it appear TfL are the good guys and are more than willing to engage with Uber. In other words a PR exercise. I'm surprised they found a big enough table to accommodate the amount of lawyers present at that meeting.

Can't be bothered looking, but maybe there's something in the legislation that would deal with such a scenario.
Be surprised if this has happened under the 1998 Act before.

Or maybe if TfL satisfied with Uber assurances then they would simply not contest the appeal in court, and to that extent the court would have to reinstate the licence.
Quite possible.
