“When trying to answer the question, is this claimant an employee under section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (‘ERA’)?, we at least know what tests should be applied, even if applying them can be difficult in practice. What has been harder is deciding whether someone who is not an employee under the ERA is in ’employment under… a contract personally to do work’ under the Equality Act 2010 (EqA) or its predecessors. Chris Camp considers employment status in discrimination law, in light, in particular, of the recent Supreme Court decision in Jivraj v Hashwani [2011] UKSC 40.”

“Although no provision had expressly been made for an appeal against a variation or refusal to vary a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, which was a clear legislative oversight, there was authority that a variation of such an order constituted “an order made by the court when dealing with an offender” falling within the broad context of section 50 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1968. That decision had not been decided per incuriam and was binding. When deciding these appeals the court had been sitting in the Court of Appeal, Criminal Division, rather than the Court of Appeal, Civil Division.”
