TENTERHOOKS: A loss in France would add to a recent court decisions against UberPOP in Germany and the Netherlands, as well as an outright ban in Spain.

PARIS: The Paris appeals court has delayed a decision on whether to ban Uber's unlicensed UberPOP service while it awaits the result of the US company's constitutional challenge of a new French law on taxis and chauffeured cars. 

Legal challenges in several European markets have become an increasing problem for Uber as it expands outside the United States to build on a US$40bil (RM148.09bil) valuation that makes it the world's most valuable venture-backed startup.
