The article doesn't really explain... their current temporary license (they have been on a temp one since last year) expires at 11.59 tonight, TFL won't give them a new permanent one. This will be in the courts today and they will probably be granted another temporary one before the day is out.

Indeed, this action is meaningless until Uber execs are getting hauled off for contempt of court. It’s barely even a slap on the wrist.
