Uber has reportedly been hit with a $45 million lawsuit from a man in France who claims that a glitch in the app contributed to his divorce. 
The Daily Dot reports that according to local news outlet Le Figaro, "The man had previously used his wife’s iPhone to hail an Uber, but the device continued receiving notifications even after he logged out."
Allegations of cheating were made, and eventually, their marriage ended, notes WPXI. 
Uber reportedly declined to comment, but the case is expected to have a preliminary hearing in the next few weeks. 
According to CNN, during its seven-plus years in operation, the ride-hailing company is said to have faced dozens of lawsuits in U.S. federal courts alone. 
Cases have addressed issues like categorizing drivers as contractors not employees, allegations of price fixing, and liability when a driver commits a crime during a ride.
