The Defendant did not stay in a private teaching institute for his own subject without the fixed time of commuting to and from work. In addition, the Plaintiff did not freely teach another private teaching institute during the period of lectures at the private teaching institute operated by the Plaintiff. In light of the fact that the Plaintiff received tuition fees for basic wages or fixed wages without the fixed time, and that the Plaintiff paid the income tax, the Defendant provided the Plaintiff’s labor for the purpose of his/her own selection of teaching materials on his/her own.
