This past week in London has seen notable legal developments, including claims involving major companies and individuals of public interest. Uber finds itself embroiled in new litigation as Addison Lee and the former CEO of the Kabbee app bring claims against the ride-hailing giant. In a separate case, Leo Group, an animal by-product company, has filed a defamation claim against a local anti-odor campaigner. Adding to the week’s legal drama, a self-styled lord who asserts he is the illegitimate son of the late Prince Phillip has resumed legal action against his cousins, seeking a share in his late aunt’s estate. These cases and other new claims in the U.K. highlight the diverse range of issues being addressed in London’s courts.
