A test used in the employee/employer relationship. It seeks to establish whether a person works on their own account or as an integral part of the employer’s organisation. The test is likely to succeed if the relationship is a continuing one between the parties. If the individual’s activities are restricted to one employer and the individual carries no financial risk the individual may be deemed to be an employee. Denning L. J. compared a taxi driver with a chauffeur to make this point (Stevenson, Jordan and Harrison Ltd v. McDonald and Evans).
