ABSTRACT
Wales [1986] IRLR 194, HL, when the issue of employee status
may become a matter solely of law in those cases where the
question depends exclusively on the interpretation of a
document.
(3) It is clear that Carmichael is concerned with the issue of a
‘global’ or ‘umbrella’ contract, and not with the issue of
whether Mrs Carmichael was an employee during the actual
hours that she was carrying out her duties.
