The class-action lawsuit alleges that the New York City Taxi and Commission (TLC) violated their constitutional rights and doled out excessive fines when it conducted undercover stings at JFK and LaGuardia Airport. The New York City Law Department filed a motion to dismiss on July 5, 2023, claiming the suit lacks merit. The drivers are pushing for a trial.
The Pollock Cohen team along with Mobilization for Justice and Peter Romer-Friedman Law PLLC are representing the plaintiffs in this matter.
