Uber and Cabify: digital platform operators or private hire firms?
Trillo, Francisco
Uber and Cabify: digital platform operators or private hire firms? - 2020.
95
In Spain, disputes between taxis and PHVs sparked by the launch of UberPop in 2014 resulted in the Court of Justice of the European Union handing down a judgment in 2017 ruling that Uber was running a “service in the field of transport” and not a digital or intermediary service. This is closely linked to the issue of its contractual relationship with its drivers, which remains unresolved, although it is highly likely that the courts will pronounce in favor of the existence of an employer-employee relationship.
