Ready Mixed Concrete (South East) Ltd v Minister of Pensions and National Insurance 2 QB 497 is a UK labour law case concerning the definition of a contract of service, rather than a contract for services. The distinction is important because many employment law rights under the Employment Rights Act 1996 require that a claimant has "employee" status under s 230. An employee is defined as someone with a contract of employment, and that is defined to be a contract of service (or apprenticeship). The definition of a contract of service is left to the courts, and this is a leading case.
