Just listened to the Supreme Court summary and it’s a resounding victory for the trade, especially to those who have fought this fight for nearly 5 years.
Well done to them.

It means in my view that Uber will give up all their ops licenses in time, and just be a booking platform. That’s the only way they will ever make money. |

"Following a lengthy legal fight, the UK's highest court ruled against the taxi app firm and concluded drivers should be classed as workers, not independent third-party contractors, which means they are entitled to basic employment protections, including minimum wage and holiday pay." |
