In France, the individual dispute over the labor contract was handled by the Labor Court, which rejected the case, stating that 'Uber and the driver are not in an employment relationship.'

Instead, the commercial court, which treated the case as a matter of employment, said that if it was a sole proprietor, he said, 'I can control the organization that performs the work myself' and 'I can freely determine the conditions of provision of prices and services' He pointed out that Uber drivers were not recognized when possible. The driver determined that he was subordinated to Uber and decided that 'Uber's driver is an employee.'
