Muschett v HM Prison Service [2010] IRLR 451 CA (0 other reports)
In Muschett v HM Prison Service [2010] IRLR 451 CA, the Court of Appeal held that an agency worker had neither a contract of employment nor a contract with the end user personally to carry out work. Accordingly, he could not bring complaints of unfair or wrongful dismissal, or of unlawful discrimination, against the end user.
