Top French court upholds Uber fine for illegal service

Judges at France’s top court on Tuesday confirmed that ride-hailing app Uber must pay a fine for deceptive commercial practices and complicity in providing illegal taxi services over its early-2010s product Uber Pop.

The Court of Cassation upheld the firm’s fine of 800,000 euros (878,000) — half of it suspended — relating to the Uber Pop service, which the firm halted in 2015 after two managers were taken into custody.
