The case of Lewis v. Uber Canada Inc., dated September 12, 2023, involved a putative class action. In this case, the plaintiff, Lewis, had sought damages against the defendant, UberEats, the food delivery platform, alleging improper charging of sales tax on food orders when promotional discounts were applied. The plaintiff's motion for certification had been scheduled for a hearing on September 27 and 28, 2023. Before the certification motion material was filed, the defendants had requested a protective order to safeguard their evidence related to the number of class members and various promotional offers. This evidence had been required by law, and the defendants had sought to keep it confidential. The plaintiff had not opposed this request. Ultimately, the court had granted the defendants' motion for a protective order, ensuring the confidentiality of commercially sensitive information while preserving the public's ability to understand the issues related to the certification motion.
