Just Eat's complaint against Glovo for unfair competition dismissed
The judge interprets that the operation of the lawsuit is legal and considers that they are two different business models.

BarcelonaBarcelona Commercial Court No. 2 has rejected Just Eat's lawsuit against Glovo for unfair competition. The plaintiff was seeking 295 million euros in compensation. In its ruling, the court finds that the platform always acted "within the law" and that the contracts since 2019 guaranteed the autonomy of the delivery drivers (riders), allowing this service on a self-employed basis.
In the ruling, the judge interprets that both companies practice different business models: 80% of Just Eat's business is the physical market and 20% is home delivery. riders That's not the only difference.
The resolution also considers food delivery services through digital platforms to be an "innovative and technologically advanced" business and that its regulatory framework is controversial and outdated.
Just Eat filed the lawsuit in November, alleging that Glovo was operating with fake self-employed workers. It also noted that there are numerous rulings condemning the company for this reason and for violating labor law regulations. The judge rejected the lawsuit.
