Uber Technologies Inc. is suing London’s transport regulator in the latest skirmish over rules that may harm the controversial company’s business.

Uber will ask London judges to decide the legality of rules that require drivers from non-English speaking countries to pass a language exam, the company said in a statement. The measures also force Uber to notify Transport for London of any changes made to its mobile-phone app.
