Ana Gradiz Correia on the change to the law that allows an economically dependent self-employed to designate another worker to replace them in case of leave | Observador

Ana states “The contract for the provision of services is designated by the doctrine as a contract intuiti personae, that is, a contract that is entered into on the basis of the person who will be contracted, due to the personal and professional characteristics of that specific person. In my understanding, the entity contracting the provision of services may object to the contracted services being performed by a third party”.
