started to work with the journalist in the overdue 2000s as an editor, receiving daily or even weekly salary, interacted as an independent service provider rather than a worker.She was “just delighted to become participated in any type of method due to the participant facility,” the tribunal noted.The pattern carried on with a “pattern of merely revitalizing the independent professional contract”,
