He should have picked a more realistic number
His reason for requesting a cap on his liability for Uber's fees is sound. To me, the issue is the size he requested. Given the size of his war chest he got from crowdfunding, and the amount he earns himself, 20k is taking the piss. If he had gone in with a more realistic number like 250k he may have got somewhere.
On the basis that he would be able to do the work "for free" while living off the crowdfunding money, and uber would probably get one lawyer for two weeks for 20k, it seems he was trying to hamstring uber in a similar way to what this legislation is intended to prevent, rather than using it to create a fair fight.
