The Tennessee Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling in favor of the Chattanooga Airport Authority in a lawsuit filed by Millennium Taxi Service.
Millenium had sought a ruling that CMAA regulations prohibiting unregistered taxicabs from picking up passengers curbside at the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport were unconstitutional.
Millennium also sought injunctive relief prohibiting enforcement of the airport's regulations.
In a counterclaim, CMAA asserted that Millennium had repeatedly and flagrantly violated its regulations and requested that Millennium be permanently enjoined from engaging in any further violations.
Judge Neil Thomas III granted in part and denied in part summary judgment to CMAA upon finding that the challenged regulations had a rational basis and did not discriminate unreasonably against unregistered taxis.
