Yacht Management Co Ltd v Gordon [2024] EAT 33

Seafarers' employment: are "tours of duty" and "duties under the contract" synonymous in determining the "base" of the employee?

In this case, the meaning of "tours of duty" and "duties under the contract" were considered to determine whether the respondent was an employee and based in Great Britain for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA) and Equality Act 2010 (EqA).
