Caspar Glyn KC and Olivia-Faith Dobbie represent 12,500 Bolt drivers in group claim

Beginning in the employment tribunal today, Caspar Glyn KC as lead counsel and Olivia-Faith Dobbie as junior counsel argue for better pay conditions on behalf of more than 12,500 Bolt drivers.

Instructed by Leigh Day, the two Cloisters barristers seek classification for Bolt drivers as workers rather than self-employed contractors in a group claim for entitlement to holiday pay and minimum wage.
