British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Royce Holdings Inc. v Jupe, 2018 BCSC 2025 (CanLII):
It does appear that in some cases, despite the terms of the MBA, submortgage brokers sign contracts designating themselves as independent contractors (see Powell v. Sjerven, 2017 BCSC 1546 at para. 6). No such contract was entered into evidence here.
