Questão jurídica principal
Whether the contract for sports ground maintenance was an employment contract or a mandate.
Decisão extraída
The relationship was not an employment contract; it was properly qualified as a mandate.
Fundamentação extraída
No decisive legal subordination was shown. The plaintiff was largely free to organize his work, was not required to report, used his own equipment, bore his own social insurance and accident/illness coverage, and was not economically dependent on the defendant. The annual term alone did not outweigh these indicators.
