An absurd case of alleged assault of an Uber driver has been thrown out of court after the Magistrate found that that our client Tony Brindle had been abducted against his will with the driver refusing to stop the vehicle or tell Mr Brindle where he was going.

Mr McGirr successfully argued that the prosecution case was not made out after the Uber driver was found to be an unreliable witness and accepted in cross-examination that he hadn’t told Mr Brindle where he was taking him.

Mr Brindle is considering further action against Uber.
