Whether the 19 December 2007 consultant agreement was actually an employment contract rather than a mandate.
The agreement was an employment contract because the work was performed in a relationship of subordination, with binding instructions, fixed periodic remuneration, and no economic risk borne by the worker.
The court relied on the objective organization of the relationship: the plaintiff had to follow the defendant's instructions and directives, was removed from certain activities by order, received a fixed annual fee, and did not bear entrepreneurial risk. The label 'consultant' and clauses declaring independence were not decisive.
