Course description
Both the press and the courts have been scrutinising the controversial employment practices of the ‘gig economy’ with increasing severity.
As a result there has been a series of high profile cases against Uber, Pimlico Plumbers, Deliveroo and Addison Lee, leading to decisions which have provided clarity on important employment law principles.
Paul Jennings presents this live and interactive broadcast which will summarise these developments, as well as highlighting the cases on the horizon and the points of principle that are yet to be resolved.
This will include a range of appellate cases dealing with matters ranging from the definition of ‘self-employed’ to the effect of multi-apping, and beyond.
