‘Inappropriate’ driver awarded costs over Uber ban

AutoExec Summary
An Uber driver in Sydney, Salahaldeen Suliman Hussaen Abdalla, was banned from the ride-share app after multiple complaints of inappropriate behaviour from female passengers. However, a tribunal found that the immediate ban was a breach of contract and ordered Uber to compensate Mr Abdalla for the lost income during the 30-day notice period. Mr Abdalla argued that the claims against him were false and that Uber did not conduct a proper investigation. Uber stated that they received multiple complaints and thoroughly investigated the matter, and they stand by their decision to uphold the ban. The tribunal also heard that Mr Abdalla drives with Didi, but it is unclear if he is still a driver for the company.
