The growing vulnerability of workers, reflections at the first Hungarian platform case
Dependent work, irregular work, long-term self-employment, electronic platform contract, self-employment
In the first part of the paper, the authors analyse a case involving an electronic platform intermediary in a food delivery - delivery service case, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the deliverer was a contractor/agent and not an employee, as the board qualified it. However, the authors argue that the position of the Court of Appeal could also be accepted, which would allow for a classification as dependent self-employment arising from a formal self-employment. The second part of the paper analyses the contractual framework of traditional employment relationships, pointing out the increasing vulnerability of the related processes. The blurring of both platform work and traditional employment leads the authors to the conclusion that labour law instruments must be provided to protect the vulnerable worker.
