GoCatch co-founder faces scrutiny over funding struggles in Uber court battle
Uber is alleged to have deliberately attacked GoCatch's business. The global rideshare company argues its Australian rival was never a viable competitor.
GoCatch co-founder Ned Moorfield faced scrutiny in questioning from Uber lawyers over his efforts to raise capital for his taxi-booking app when the company sought to pivot to ridesharing a decade ago.
In the latest instalment of GoCatch's pursuit of damages, barrister John Sheahan KC for Uber accused Moorfield of trying to conceal a lack of investor confidence in his evidence to the court.
GoCatch is seeking damages from Uber over allegations the company engaged in corporate espionage and deliberately attacked GoCatch's business.
In the long-running dispute, GoCatch alleges Uber breached transport laws and allowed unregistered drivers to operate on its ridesharing app while it sought to "squash" its Australian rival.
