It Is Ruled That Without Passenger Identification There Cannot Be A Conviction For Providing A Transportation Service “Without Authorization” (Criminal and Infractions Court, CABA)
On the 8th of May, 2019, in the case “Mercedes Cano, Yan Carlos Alberto sobre 4.1.7- taxis, transportes escolares y remises sin autorización”, (CAU 19291/2019-0), the First Chamber revoked the initial ruling that charged a driver for providing passenger transportation services without authorization. This new ruling was given since the infringement report did not identify the passenger, an essential requirement for the existence of transportation activity. Furthermore, it was indicated that that omission violated the defendant’s right to a fair trial.
