About this event
In a judgment delivered in November 2023, the UK Supreme Court found that delivery couriers working for Deliveroo were in fact genuine self-employed. Fatal to their claim of being workers in an employment relationship was a broadly worded substitution clause present in their contracts, making the finding of 'personal performance' in the provision of their work impossible.A panel of experts discusses this decision and the implications of the judgment for the fundamental categories of UK labour law, the 'employee' and 'worker' categories in particular.
