DoorDash has filed a motion asking a California Superior Court judge to dismiss a lawsuit initiated by Uber. The suit alleges that DoorDash engaged in practices that stifle competition within the food delivery market.
Uber claims that DoorDash’s business strategies hinder rival companies from competing fairly, potentially harming consumers and restaurant partners. In response, DoorDash argues that the lawsuit lacks merit and should be dismissed, although the specific legal grounds for their request were not disclosed in the initial court filing.
The case underscores the intensifying battle among major food delivery services to secure market dominance. Both companies have invested heavily in expanding their delivery operations, particularly as consumer demand surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The outcome of the case could have broader implications for competition policy and corporate practices in the gig economy.
Further developments in the lawsuit are pending, as the court reviews DoorDash’s dismissal request.
