Question juridique clé
Whether the parties concluded an employment contract for the dermatology activity
Solution extraite
No employment contract existed because the work was knowingly and validly performed free of charge; salary was neither agreed in money nor in kind.
Motifs extraits
Art. 319 CO requires remuneration. The presumption of Art. 320(2) CO was rebutted: the claimant knew and accepted the volunteer nature of the activity, and the hospital could in good faith understand her conduct as unpaid collaboration.
