On the 14th of August, 2024, in the case “Martinez, Leonardo Alberto s/ Recurso De Apelacion Art. 23 Inc. 5 C.P, Expte. 5772/2024, the Criminal Court of the Northern Judicial District of Tierra del Fuego Province acquitted the defendant, recalling that the Court had already ruled in favour of the defendant in the precedent “Quisbert Alejandro Javier s/Recurso de apelación art. 23 inc. 5 CP”, Expte. 5635/2023. Reiterating this precedent, the Court confirmed the legality of Uber and held that Ordinance 3548/2016, which prohibited the provision of passenger transportation services through mobile apps, violated the right to work, the right to exercise lawful business, the freedom of contractual association, the principle of rationality in regulation, and legal equality. 

In this regard, the Court ordered that the Municipal Administrative Infractions Court bear in mind that future decisions should follow the precedent set in the “Quisbert” case.
