The UK's High Court has ruled the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) can challenge a previous ruling that riders delivering food to Deliveroo customers are self-employed. That paves the way for a full judicial review before a High Court Judge at a later date which may see gig economy workers handed improved employment rights.

Deliveroo -- and Uber and Lyft and other companies that connect people to jobs via an app -- contend they are a conduit rather than an employer. They say that because they don't employ their workers, they don't have to provide employment benefits such as a minimum wage, holiday pay and collective bargaining rights.
