Description

This session will look at some of the legal and regulatory challenges and tension created in the sharing economy. The identity crisis – am I: • an entrepreneur? • a service provider? • an employee? Playing hide and seek with the tax authorities. To what extent should the platform be liable to the customer and to third parties? For example, a driver knocks down someone walking along the street while they’re driving a client. Legislating trust in the sharing economy: who is the guardian of consumer protection, privacy and safety standards? What can be expected from future legislation on the sharing economy?
