SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 17 – Joseph Chambers sued Instacart for requiring drivers like him to pay business expenses in violation of NY Business Law.
On October 15 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Edgardo Ramos held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Plaintiffs counsel explained this was similar to suits against Postmates / Uber, but was only under New York and not Federal law.
Instacart, going under its business name Maplebear, said that Chambers and other drivers had agreed to arbitration.
Judge Ramos set a schedule for Instacart's motion to compel arbitration, which is due November 5, with response due November 29 and reply December 6.
The case is Chambers v. Maplebear, Inc., 21-cv-7114 (Ramos)
