Question juridique clé
Whether the Geneva labor court had subject-matter jurisdiction because the relationship was a contract of employment rather than a mandate.
Solution extraite
The relationship was correctly qualified as an employment contract, so the labor court had jurisdiction ratione materiae under cantonal law and the constitutional right to the lawful judge was not violated.
Motifs extraits
The respondent worked under temporal, spatial, and hierarchical subordination: fixed presence at the office, directives, control of time and work, and no true independence. The court held that these elements outweighed the label suggested by the appellant.
