The license holders said that the City should not be allowed to issue more licenses because it would reduce the value of the licenses in a secondary market from which they many of the license holders bought their licenses.

IJ argued that the new law was not a regulatory taking because the City did not take away the license holders’ right to use the license to drive cabs. IJ also argued that there is not a property interest, protected by the Constitution, in the premium value of a license in a secondary market.

I’m not sure since I have not seen anything about the case beyond IJ’s press release.

Bravo, its good to see a court make the correct decision. What was the legal argument of the taxi owners?
