According to various reports on the High Court ruling this morning
including:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-34549700

"The court had been asked to decide whether the company's smartphones
were considered meters, which are outlawed for private hire vehicles."

Do they mean "in London"?

Private hire vehicles in Cambridge have meters, as do the ones in Notts.
