In order to resolve the District of Columbia’s lawsuit against the corporation for “deceptive trade practises,” Grubhub has been forced to pay $3.5 million. The meal delivery service has reached a settlement with the office of Washington DC Attorney General Karl Racine “for charging clients hidden fees and employing misleading marketing practises,” according to Racine’s announcement. If you remember, his office filed a lawsuit against the business earlier this year, alleging that it misrepresented the “unlimited free delivery” promise of the Grubhub+ membership and charged hidden costs despite the fact that consumers still had to pay a service charge.
