Contract of employment

Hall v Lorimer [1993] EWCA Civ 25 is a UK labour law case concerning the scope of protection for people to employment rights. It took the view that an employment contract requires regard to be had to the degree of dependency of the employee.

Facts

Mr Lorimer received £32,875 for his employment and incurred expenses of £9,250. He was a television technician working for 20 separate companies on short term jobs.

Judgment

Nolan LJ held that he was self-employment and could therefore set his expenses off against his income. He said what is partly relevant to employment status is,[1]

the extent to which the individual is dependant or independent of a particular paymaster for the financial exploitation of his talents.
