I thank Professor Doherty. I am taken by his statement that there is no comprehensive statutory definition of either "employee" or "contract of employment". Does he consider this to be a weakness that should be addressed or does he believe the matter is too complex such that we will never get the wording right? He more or less finished on that point, which concerns the definition. Are there examples of jurisdictions where the definitions are more robust than they might be in this jurisdiction?
