It Is Unconstitutional To Block Uber’s Website And Application (High Court of Justice, CABA)
On the 8th of May, 2019, in the case “NN (UBER) s/ queja por recurso de inconstitucionalidad denegado en: ‘Incidente de apelación por clausura/bloqueo de página web en todo el país en autos: NN (UBER) y otros s/ infr. art(s). 83, 73 y 74 CC’”, (File No. 14483/17), the Court revoked the preliminary injunction that ordered Uber’s website and application to be blocked nationwide. The ruling was based on the fact that the effects of the injunction would extend to other jurisdictions, thereby exceeding local authority and infringing upon federal regulations. Additionally, the ruling cited Inter-American and local standards concerning freedom of expression.
