Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily denied labor-court jurisdiction by classifying the relationship as a mandate rather than an employment contract.
Solution extraite
The qualification as a mandate was not arbitrary; the key element of subordination was absent, so the labor court lacked material jurisdiction.
Motifs extraits
The court relied on the actual working arrangement: the claimant worked as an independent collaborator, was only instructed by operating surgeons, was not subject to hospital management, used her own pager/phone, invoiced irregularly as 'fees', paid no social contributions, and repeatedly refused contract drafts expressly proposing employee status.
