On the 8th of May, 2019, in the case “David Stefan Ferreira Santos – UBER do Brasil Tecnología Ltda", (RTOrd XXXXX-94.2017.5.07.0006), the Court rejected the existence of an employment relationship between Uber and the claimant, who had filed a labour claim based on alleged wrongful dismissal, among other reasons. In reaching its decision, the Court analysed and compared the claimant’s own statements against each of the “characteristics of an employment relationship” and found that the requirements of “non-eventuality”, “subordination” and “remuneration” were not met.
