Illegal Taxi Company

If a case is brought when one party is performing an illegal act (providing an illegal taxi service) can that case continue if the taxi company is later legalised after the case has already commenced?

It depends on the legislation, but in the vast majority of cases the answer is that if something is illegal at the time it is done, then it will have been illegal, even if doing the same thing later became legal.


So the answer is most likely that yes, the case can continue.
