MacDonald v Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland: EAT 10 Feb 2010

EAT JURISDICTIONAL POINTS
Worker, employee or neither
Employment Tribunal held that a Minister of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland was not an employee. He was an office holder. Judgment challenged on appeal as not being ‘Meek’ compliant. Appeal refused. The judgment, though economically explained, was adequate. Furthermore, the conclusion was entirely understandable in the light of the facts found and the relevant law. The Employment Appeal Tribunal was not, in particular, satisfied, that evidence which the Claimant sought to have revisited would, even if accepted, have led to the conclusion that the Claimant was an employee.
