The Munich Administrative Court has temporarily overturned and suspended a city decree that required ride-hailing services, such as Uber, to align their pricing with official taxi tariffs. The regulation, which had been in effect since July, aimed to prevent wage dumping and unfair price competition following protests by taxi drivers. In ~~its ruling,~~ five preliminary injunctions, the court ~~found~~ ruled that the decree was “likely ~~illegal~~ unlawful in its entirety.” The ruling centered on jurisdictional limits, as ~~a whole” because~~ the City of Munich applied the pricing mandate to trips entering or leaving the city limits, which exceeds the municipality’s ~~jurisdiction.~~ authority. The court determined that these unlawful components could not be separated from the valid portions of the decree. Following the ruling, the city’s district administration office (KVR) confirmed it will immediately cease enforcement while evaluating a potential appeal. Munich Mayor Dominik Krause noted that while the city’s objectives regarding driver protection and preventing ruinous price competition remain valid, the municipality must await a final ruling in the main proceedings to determine how to adapt regulations to comply with the law.
