On 4 March 2020, the Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal brought by the company Uber, thus confirming the Appeal Court ruling which had requalified in an employment contract the contract between a driver, as self-employed, and Uber.

The Human Rights League, mandated by several Uber drivers, on 12 June 2020, filed a complaint before the CNIL against Uber concerning the processing of their personal data.
