Précis: Ms. Lyons started as a part-time receptionist and clerical worker at the Kinetica Health Group. Subsequently she also became a part-time Pilates Instructor and rehabilitation aide. The Court found that while the parties might have intended to have an independent contractor relationship the facts did not support that conclusion. The Court found that applying the well-known tests for employment relationships Ms. Lyon was clearly an employee for the purposes of the Employment Insurance Act and the Canada Pension Plan.
