Sexual assault multidistrict litigation against Uber revs up
Uber wanted to put the brakes on sexual assault multidistrict litigation. Instead, a judicial panel transferred 13 cases to the Northern District of California.
On Oct. 4, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“Panel”) transferred 13 sexual assault cases involving Uber to be heard before Judge Charles R. Breyer in the Northern District of California. In re: Uber Technologies, Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation (MDL No. 3084.) This marks the first time sexual assault cases have been centralized for pretrial proceedings by the Panel, despite previous denials in sexual abuse cases.
