Vidal-Hall v Hawley and others: EAT 21 Feb 2008

EAT Jurisdictional points – Agency relationships
Sex discrimination – Contract workers
The Claimant was employed by CSV to work at a prison. The prison had an arrangement, but not a contract, with CSV and so the prison could not be liable to the Claimant as a contract worker under Sex Discrimination Act 1975 s9, nor under s41 for the acts of prison officers. It was not necessary to imply a contract of employment with the prison.
