Sažetak
The current Chapter will tackle several issues of importance for the provision of Uber’s services, with an overall aim to assess the nature of Uber’s services in general. Section 2 examines the relevant case practice, starting with the recent case held before the Court of Justice of the European Union, and continuing with comparative practice focused on Uber-related issues such as: unfair competition, main organizer and/or direct provider of carriage services, level of control and differentiation between employees and independent contractors. Section 3 scrutinizes different contractual (and possibly non- contractual) relations between different actors engaged in Uber’s services: Uber and Uber’s application, Uber subsidiary companies, Uber drivers, application users, and passengers. Section 4 compares the traditional taxi industry’s price determination model with that of Uber’s dynamic charge increase model. Section 5 examines Uber’s general terms and conditions. Section 6 examines the existing transportation models (transportation intermediaries, contractual and actual carriers, ride-sharing, taxi service) in search of the best match for legally classifying Uber’s business model. Section 7 draws conclusions from the conducted analysis.
