The Board's factual finding that the claimant was an independent agent, not an employee, is upheld: the overall impression of the relationship showed lack of employer control over time/place/manner, claimant bore financial risk and earned on commission, sourced her own clients, and the Agreement expressly disclaimed employment; no Edwards v Bairstow ground was established to justify appellate interference except an isolated point which did not alter the outcome.
