At a
hearing on Thursday, U.S. District
Judge Edward Chen asked if there was a «tension or inconsistency» for Uber to argue that every
single one of its drivers is an independent contractor, yet to also argue that the legal issues in the
case are so specific to each driver that it can't be decided as a class action.
In 2007, the Integrated Domestic Violence (IDV) Court was created to bring related Family, Criminal, and Matrimonial
cases to a
single judge who
hears all aspects of a
case.
