MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 24, 2017
FROM: Kellan Kyle
SUBJECT: Evaluation of Uber's Legal Exposure for the Conduct of Drivers
Summary of the Main Principles of Agency
Uber Inc. is an American technology company which offers transportation and delivers
services in many cities all over the world. UberCab made a splash in the year 2009, in San
Francisco by letting an individual hail a car with his or her Smartphone, (Hartmans & McAlone,
2016). Since then, this company, now known as Uber, has spread like wildfire all over the world.
Uber drivers usually use their own cars or rent them. Transportation and delivery charge
ordinarily depend on the distance traveled by the user. Yet, Uber utilizes a dynamic pricing
model in their charges. This, therefore, means that they charge higher prices during their peak
hours and lower charges during off-peak hours. Uber offers a wide array of services which
include Uber AUTO, UberGo, UberPOP or Uber X, Uberpool, and Uber Taxi.
Main Principles of Agency
Uber and its drivers exhibit a principal-agent relationship where Uber Company is the
principal whereas the Uber drivers are the agents. The Law of Agency governs agency
relationships, (Greene, 2018). This law is commonly used by courts to solve disputes and cases
concerning principal-agent relationships. The main principles of the agency include Express
authority. This is the authority which is actually possessed. This is where the agent is authorized
by the principal i.e Uber authorizing its Uber drivers.
