What is ONE STEP FORWARDS FOR EMPLOYMENT STATUS, STILL SOME WAY TO GO: THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION IN UBER v ASLAM UNDER SCRUTINY about?

It is regrettable that the Supreme Court in Henderson did not adopt Lord Phillips's reservations about the defence where the perpetrator "bears no significant personal responsibility for his crime". To do so would not have brought uncertainty, it is a concept readily understood in criminal and sentencing law, and would bring the law closer to the treatment of unjust enrichment claimants. Closer, but not entirely consistent. Consider the Supreme Court's attitude to Ms. Henderson, "distressed beyond measure" by what she had done when seriously ill with psychosis, revealed in its invocation of the broad public interest "in the public condemnation of unlawful killing and the punishment of those who behave in that way" (emphasis added). And compare Lord Sumption in Patel, willing to countenance a restitution claim by the client of a contract killer who pockets the money but does not kill the putative victim.
