Case
In Byrne Brothers (Formwork) Ltd v Baird and others the EAT upholds an employment tribunal's decision that labour-only subcontractors were "workers" for the purposes of the Working Time Regulations 1998. On the facts, they had a contract of personal service, despite the limited power to delegate work. They were not engaged in their own business undertaking and there was the necessary mutuality of obligations.
