The court order on Uber's geo-localization service for potential customers exerts a huge blow to a law allegedly pushed by the taxi drivers. The law accuses the app based ride hailing company of applying unfair- means in competition. The court verdict also unearths violation of European Union ruling through targeting a specific service while upholding France's efforts in regulating car services, according to a report published in The Salt Lake Tribune.

The verdict appears as a victory for Uber while challenging through a flurry of appeals both in France and at the EU level. The court has pronounced its order whenever Uber and two of its top executives in France are facing the court music with allegations for violating transit and data protection laws, reports MarketWatch while analyzing the perspectives.

The new court decision is expected to stand as precedence for Uber while fighting for invalidating other controversial parts of the French transport law. However, Wednesday's verdict has left some other provisions of the same law unattended. Specifically the existing provisions, under which the Uber executives are facing trial, have remained non-reviewed probably considering sub-judicial aspects.

However, the decision won't lead to a big change to Uber's smart phone application. In reality, the car hailing company has never postponed displaying cars on a map in France. The app has started showing already booked Uber cars as well as the available vehicles, sidestepping the earlier court verdict.
