although there was originally no contract between a worker supplied by an agency and his end-user "employer", the conduct of the parties over a period meant that a contract of employment between the worker and the end-user had necessarily to be implied to reflect the reality of their relationship and therefore, as an employee, the worker was able to claim unfair dismissal.

For relevant general notes go to Employment agencies/employment status of staff and/or Employee/employee or self-employed? and/or Unfair dismissal/employments not having unfair dismissal rights/employee not within ERA definition .
