Jason Galbraith-Marten QCwas instructed by the App Drivers and Couriers Union.Transport for London (TfL) license and regulate all of London's taxi and private hire drivers, vehicles and operators. In the long-term this should significantly enhance passenger safety. This will mean that thousands more drivers are eligible for employment rights such as the right to minimum wage, to paid holiday and adequate rest breaks. All operators who currently purport to contract with passengers only as the agent of drivers will have to change their contractual arrangements to ensure that they comply with the Court’s ruling, and TfL are responsible for ensuring that this happens.Īs a consequence of this decision, it is now very likely that all private hire vehicle drivers in London are properly to be regarded as employed by the operator (or operators) for whom they drive. By rejecting this, the High Court has confirmed that operators are primarily responsible for ensuring that private hire trips are carried out safely. In this latest case Uber effectively argued that the 1998 Act did not prevent it from adopting an agency model of operation. In that case, the Court held that Uber’s purported operating model, of contracting with passengers only as the agent of its drivers, was a fiction and that Uber in fact employed its drivers as workers.
This case follows hot on the heels of the Supreme Court decision given earlier this year in the case of Uber v Aslam.

The High Court today handed down judgement in the case of Uber London Limited v 1) Transport for London (2) United Trade Action Group Limited and (3) App Drivers and Couriers Union, Case No: CO/3046/2021.
