Unfortunately, I don't have the time go into the details of this. But this judgment smells like the UK Supreme Court made fundamental mistake in judgement!
This UK Supreme Court was only established in 2009. Does this judgment indicates that the famous common law rulings in the history of the United Kingdom have come to an end and that progressive motivated judgments are taking over?
This judgment has the appearance of a massive intervention in the free market economy and establishes unnecessary government control.
Apparently, this judgement is extremely flawed! To quote from the press summary of the court:
" ... The Supreme Court considers and explains its previous decision in Autoclenz Ltd v Belcher [2011] UKSC 41 [68 - 69 ]. The correct approach is to consider the purpose of the relevant employment legislation [70]. That purpose is to give protection to vulnerable individuals who have little or no say over their pay and working conditions because they are in a subordinate and dependent position in relation to a person or organisation which exercises control over their work ..."
