Lapdancer not employee

Court of Appeal rules on Stringfellows case

A Stringfellows lapdancer is not an employee, the Court of Appeal has ruled, in Stringfellows v Quashie [2012] EWCA Civ 1735. It overturned the Employment Appeal Tribunal’s decision that Nadine Quashie’s work conditions satisfied the minimum requirements for a contract of employment to exist, since there was an element of control and a mutual obligation to provide and do work.
