Cabcharge spokeswoman Tracey Cain said yesterday the company had received no paperwork in relation to the suit "therefore I can't comment any further other than to say that Cabcharge always behaves appropriately". Cabcharge issued a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange at 3.14pm, also saying no papers had been served and saying the ACCC had issued a media release before contacting the company. The ACCC responded in a statement at 5.55pm saying its process-server had delivered the documents to Cabcharge's registered office at 12.18pm, before it issued its media release. The statement of claim spells out the regulator's view that Cabcharge has steadily increased its market reach in several taxi-related operations and then set out to "eliminate" rivals. Cabcharge's main business is providing non-cash payment systems for taxis and hire cars. It also supplies and services taxi meters and has a presence in taxi ownership through 10 wholly owned networks and some part investments.
