San Francisco judge again refuses to sign off on settlement between Uber and driver
Judge Andrew Y.S. Cheng has been concerned about reverse auction deals, but in a case Friday he said he questioned the heavy discounting the parties used on certain claims.
Days after rejecting a proposed PAGA settlement for looking like a reverse auction deal, a San Francisco judge rejected another proposal between an Uber driver and the company Friday, citing his "serious concerns" about how the parties reached the $10.8 million figure.
If accepted, the order said, the deal would represent "approximately .13% of the revised theoretical maximum $8,431,847,933" estimated by the parties.
