@Tim

IANAL but that's the way I read it, yes.

IANAL either, but I read it differently - mainly because I want to - the law, it's an amazing concept.

Uber is effectively the employment agent, arranging contact between a contractor and their customer in return for a commission, says I. In that regard then, no different to any other middleman situation.

I'm sure the cabbies think they're onto a winner here, but the law of unintended consequences says this'll bite them on their dinosaur @rse too, sooner or later.
