Question juridique clé
Whether the Geneva labor court had subject-matter jurisdiction over the dispute arising from the collaboration agreement.
Solution extraite
Yes. The relationship could be qualified as an employment relationship for purposes of Geneva jurisdiction, so the labor court was competent.
Motifs extraits
Jurisdiction depended on cantonal law, which uses the federal concept of employment. The appellate court’s factual and legal assessment of subordination was not arbitrary; several contractual and practical elements supported an employment relationship.
