What stops Uber copying this?

The substitution clause argument raised was very poor, as the clause was meaningfully limited (Deliveroo drivers were, for example, required to provide their substitute with their own phone and account to log in on their behalf – who in their right mind is hadning over their phone for hours in this day and age?). It is also dreadfully out of tune with the decision in Uber v Aslam with the focus on statutory interpretation and the needs of workers, rather than taking the agreements at face value.

Perhaps Lloyd-Jones and Rose should consult Street v Mountford and the Rent Acts a few more times before trying again.
