On the balance of probabilities the court found the overall economic reality and evidential picture pointed to the applicant operating his existing Blue Star business and/or as a partner/independent operator rather than an employee of the respondent at the time of the accident; the cooperation arrangement had effectively ended by the 1 October 2015 documents and the applicant was borrowing respondent's vehicle rather than working under respondent's control, therefore respondent not liable under the Employees' Compensation Ordinance for the 13 December 2015 injury.
