Uber has won the right to take Transport for London (TfL) to court over new rules that would force its drivers to pass English tests.
TfL wanted all private-hire drivers who are not from English-speaking countries to be tested from 1 October.
Uber said it had successfully applied for judicial review of some regulations put forward in TfL's licensing proposals for private-hire drivers.
A TfL spokesman said it was making the changes "to enhance public safety".
The examination would test reading, writing and listening skills.
