Abstract
Delivery companies have become a focal point of the ‘gig economy’, with Uber the most often identified entity. This commentary considers what recent cases involving delivery service companies suggest about labour law and the platform economy. Although these cases have focused on employment status, this commentary contends that the continuing lack of concerted engagement with the independent contractor status contributes to this spate of cases.
Cases:
Heller v Uber Technologies Inc. 2020 SCC 16.
Uber Cass Soc, Appeal no. S 19-13.316.
Uber v Aslam [2021] UKSC.
