Uber Technologies Inc attempted to hide the fraudulent use of photo identification by some drivers, London’s black-cab drivers said at the start of the company’s second court battle with the city’s transport regulator.

The ride-hailing app became aware of some drivers using photographs of colleagues as their own in October 2018 but didn’t inform the transport regulator until May 2019, the Licensed Taxi Drivers’ Association said Tuesday in its court filings. The LTDA, which represents around half of London’s black-cab drivers, is opposing Uber’s appeal.
