The court affirmed that the claimant was an employee under the Employees Compensation Ordinance because he worked on the employer's premises using materials supplied by the company, was on call, performed work that no one else did on that machine, was paid as a casual piece worker and the label "outside worker" did not reflect the substance of the relationship; therefore the outworker exception and independent contractor characterisation did not apply and the District Court award stands.
