If they don't appeal their license expires on 30th September.

"The Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998 includes provision to appeal a licensing decision within 21 days of it being communicated to the applicant. Uber London Limited can continue to operate until any appeal processes have been exhausted."

So they will leave it to late September to launch an appeal, and whilst the appeal process is ongoing they can continue to operate.

How long they can push it after the 30th September isn't known as I've no idea what the TfL appeal process involves.

Alongside the reasons in the link (crime reporting, medical certificates, DBS checks, greyball) it's probably also got something to do with the huge increase in license fee: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/uber-licensing-cos...
