The Employment Tribunal has issued its Judgment in the much awaited case involving the companies behind the Uber app and two drivers. Uber was developed and released in 2010 as a mobile phone app which has over 40,000 taxi drivers signed up, with 30,000 of these being in London alone. The app allows passengers to easily locate and book available taxi drivers without the need to go to a registered rank or calling a dispatch office. Payment is made by credit or debit card based on the distance and time travelling. It is seen as the stress free way of booking a taxi.
