EAT Jurisdictional Points : Worker, Employee or Neither – The Claimant was a taxi driver working with the Respondent company under written terms. The Employment Tribunal decided he was not an employee. The EAT upheld the decision because the written terms did not require any minimum or reasonable amount of work from him; he was free to work or not to work. Nor in the circumstances was there scope for inferring such an obligation from the fact that the Claimant in fact worked 7 days a week.
