Jackson Lewis P.C.’s Post

Dear Clients and Partners, We are reaching out to inform you that on the 25th of March, in response to a significant protest march, our Car Rental with Driver (NCC) service will pause operations for the day. This decision wasn’t made lightly but is a direct response to recent legislative proposals by the Ministry of Transport, which pose severe restrictions and limitations on our sector. These proposed measures not only threaten the livelihood of thousands of entrepreneurs and workers within the private transport industry but also significantly curtail consumer choice by limiting viable alternatives to traditional taxi services. Moreover, the intention to implement a mass tracking system raises serious privacy concerns, representing what we see as an unacceptable intrusion into the lives of both citizens and consumers. The implications of these policies extend beyond our industry, affecting you, our esteemed clients, and our valued intermediaries. The protest on March 25th is intended to send a clear signal to the government to reconsider these policies, which in their current form, could severely impact citizens' freedom of choice and privacy, causing considerable inconvenience to those dependent on our services. These regulations will also indirectly affect our intermediaries, compromising the quality and efficiency of the service provided to their clients. It’s crucial at this juncture for all stakeholders to join forces and possibly raise objections or formal complaints to the European Court, as these measures appear to conflict with European regulations, endangering not only our operations but the service quality promised to your clients. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and deeply appreciate your understanding and support. We stand firm in our commitment to defending principles of freedom, privacy, and fair competition, essential for a society that respects the rights of its citizens and consumers. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can make a difference. #StandWithNCC #FreedomOfChoice #PrivacyMatters #EuropeanRegulations #TransportationSector Best regards. Mychaufffeur.it

Government figures out today show that the proportion of fatal road collisions where a drink-driver was involved is back to a level last seen in the late 1980s. That's a terrifying statistic. The UK has far safer roads than many other countries, but this data and others shows at best further progress in saving lives has stalled, and at worst things are moving in the wrong direction. So what can be done? Let's look at some options: ❓ A lower drink-drive limit - Scotland has had one for a decade now, but the percentage of casualties occurring in drink-drive collisions is no lower there than in other parts of the UK. So that doesn't look like the ultimate answer ❓ Enforcement - do the hard core of drivers who drink not feel they're likely to get caught? If not, how do we change that? More police on the roads ideally but they can't be everywhere all of the time. A lot of drink-drive offences are committed by reoffenders, so alcolocks could be mandatory. But could vehicle manufacturers play a role in tech for new cars too? ❓ Roadside disqualification - NPCC roads lead Jo Shiner has rightly called for this before, as driver bans currently have to be given out by magistrates, which can take weeks after the offence is committed ❓ Sentencing. Since 2022, courts can give life sentences to drink drivers who kill. In those cases where they don't give such strong sentences, should offenders ever be allowed to drive again on release? ❓ Better driver education - yes to keeping on with hard-hitting THINK! campaigns Ultimately, today's figures need to be carefully analysed and the new government should work closely with all the road safety talent we have in the UK to map out a way forward as quickly as possible. https://lnkd.in/dvHFtmFT

The Special Body of the Court of Justice of São Paulo ruled constitutional the municipal statute no. 8,194/23, of Guarulhos city, which regulates the obligation of ridesharing companies to notify drivers before suspension, exclusion and other penalties. The municipality filed lawsuit alleging violation of the principle of separation of powers. However, the court held that the obligations are imposed on individuals, not on the public administration. The court also pointed out that the decision safeguards two constitutional values: the adversarial principle and the full defense. "It is a public policy of typically local interest, in defense of the workers who provide services in that municipality, which does not imply an invasion of the legislative competence of the Union. The transport of passengers within the municipality must be regulated in line with the states and the union, to preserve local issues. And this is the hypothesis, because guaranteeing the adversarial principle and full defense to drivers does not violate national and state regulations, it only protects those constitutional values."

https://lnkd.in/eNAYsKWi An agreement saying an UberEats driver had to go to arbitration instead of suing in Ontario was so unfair it was invalid, the Supreme Court has ruled. Courts use unconscionability to protect weaker parties in contracts with stronger parties. When one party has no choice, or doesn’t understand what they are signing, their bargaining power is weaker. Courts can set aside the agreement if a stronger party gets too much of an advantage (even if it doesn’t mean to).
