> Deliveroo heavily depends on "self employed" couriers which quite likely courts will find are employees which the company needs to compensate accordingly

This issue has been raised in France but it turns out most couriers are "micro-entrepreneurs" and appear to be quite content with both the social benefits and the flexibility (as reported by Deliveroo and as independently assessed by the Sénat in 2020).

Anecdata, I had a couple of chats with some couriers and it seems to correlate with the Sénat finding. TBH I expected it to be otherwise.
