Uber driver's landmark win paves way for service to operate freely in Victoria

Nathan Brenner appealed conviction which effectively outlawed Uber in Victoria on grounds app not covered by 'antiquated' legislation used to charge him

A Melbourne Uber driver has won a landmark appeal which means the ride-sharing service can operate freely in Victoria.

Nathan Brenner was found guilty last year by a magistrate of two counts of operating a commercial passenger vehicle without a licence, and one count of driving a commercial passenger vehicle without driver accreditation.
