On July 16^th, the Court of Justice of the EU (hereafter, the Court) issued a ruling that has the potential to revolutionise labour law in Europe and beyond. As sensationalist as this might sound, it is clear that the ruling in the case AFMB contains elements that, if extrapolated from the context of the dispute in question, could be of help to give grounds for a re-regulation of the de-regulated and often opaque sphere that currently is provision of labour.
