Court halts ridesharing service Uber in Germany

A court has barred ridesharing service Uber from operating in Germany, the latest shot in the popular app's fight with taxi drivers worldwide. Frankfurt state court spokesman Arne Hasse said Tuesday the decision that Uber can't offer its services without a specific permit under German transport laws applies nationwide. The injunction applies pending a full hearing of a suit brought against Uber by Taxi Deutschland, a German cab association that also offers its own taxi-ordering app. The suit is being heard in Frankfurt because it is one of the several German cities in which Uber operates. San Francisco-based Uber said in a statement it would use "all legal means" to fight the case. "It's never a good idea to limit people's choices," Uber said. "We believe that innovation and competition is good for everyone — it profits both drivers and passengers." The ruling comes after Berlin authorities last month barred Uber from operating in the capital because of safety concerns.

"The Drummond & Nelson Difference" – Aggressive Representation

Getting the right representation begins with getting the right attorney. An attorney should not be selected solely based on a billboard, slogan, or advertised alleged fee reductions. If you have been injured or charged with a crime, you need an experienced attorney who will aggressively advocate for you to get the best possible outcome in your case.

Our attorneys have extensive trial and negotiation experience in all areas of criminal defense in Clark County Justice Courts, District Courts, Las Vegas Municipal Courts, Henderson Municipal Courts, North Las Vegas Municipal Courts and Nevada Federal Court.

When investigating which attorney to hire, remember that there is no charge for your initial
consultation with our office to discuss your case.

Hire Drummond & Nelson and you'll meet one-on-one with an attorney who will be personally involved in every aspect of your case.

Ala court upholds generic drug decision

The Alabama Supreme Court is standing by a decision that business sees as a defeat. The court on Friday issued an opinion that mostly parallels its ruling last year in a generic drug case. A divided court says the original decision isn't as broad as some are claiming. But a majority stuck by a 2013 decision saying a brand-name drugmaker can be held responsible by someone who took a generic medication made by a different company. The Business Council of Alabama says it's disappointed. So is Wyeth, the drug manufacturer sued by Danny and Vicki Weeks over the man's use of a generic form of the brand-name medicine Reglan. The Weeks filed suit in federal court, and a judge asked the Supreme Court to clarify state law.
