Abstract
In Sharpe v Bishop of Worcester [2015] EWCA Civ 399, the Court of Appeal ruled unanimously that the Revd Mark Sharpe, formerly Rector of Teme Valley South, was not an “employee” of the Bishop of Worcester or a “worker” for the purposes of employment law. This short note, which originally appeared in edited form on the Law & Religion UK blog, reviews the decision and what it means for future cases.
