EAT JURISDICTIONAL POINTS – Worker, employee or neither
A Tribunal determined that a solicitor who had been an employee, but who then accepted remuneration calculated as a ‘profit share’, remained an employee and did not become a partner. It did so without express reference to the Partnership Act 1890, and was contended to be wrong in law to fail to do so, and to have failed to ask at the outset whether the test of conducting business in common with a view of profit under that Act had been satisfied. The appeal was dismissed, since neither was required; the question was whether the solicitor was an employee, which was a question of fact to be determined (and was) by applying the appropriate legal tests, and the answer to which was in any event plainly and obviously right.
