Uber is appealing a decision to reinstate a driver accused of misconduct, arguing current laws hinder safety enforcement, while the government updates deactivation processes for sexual harassment.

• Uber appeals a ruling to reinstate a driver banned for 16 misconduct allegations including speeding and racist remarks.
• Uber argues current deactivation laws hinder safety enforcement by requiring proof of misconduct rather than reasonable belief.
• Government updates aim to streamline deactivation for sexual harassment but exclude cases prior to the changes.
