In a ruling handed down 04 March (here), France’s Court of Cassation has ruled that the relationship between an Uber driver and the company is not a contractual relationship but is instead an employment contract relationship. Underlying its ruling was the set of conditions required by the driver in terms of the service provided from the moment the driver logged onto the digital platform.
It is now the end of the legal route for a dispute that initially concerned the closure of a driver’s account by Uber and the subsequent request by the driver for the courts to have the contractual relationship with Uber be transformed into an employment relationship.
