It’s almost as simple as that, since damages were given out almost entirely on those grounds.
I'll leave it to HN to figure out a guess on mileage =)
Some other interesting notes:
Plaintiff was engaged with Uber from July 23 to Sept 18, less than 2 months (p 2)
She worked for 470 hours in that time, so quite a bit (p. 6)
Damages broken down as follows: $0.56/mile reimbursement, for a total of $3,622, tolls for $256, interest of $274, for a total of $4,152 (p10)
Claims for wages, liquidated damages and penalties for violations were all dismissed (p11)
