- Employee: William Stone

- Insurer: Hartford Insurance Company
KOZIOL, J. The claimant, William Stone, appeals from a decision denying and dismissing his claim on the ground he was not an employee of All Seasons Painting and Decorating, or its subcontractor, Robert Beaumier.1 We affirm the decision insofar as it determined Beaumier was an independent subcontractor of All Seasons Painting and Decorating; however, we vacate the judge’s determination that the claimant and Beaumier were partners. We recommit the case for a hearing de novo concerning the nature of the relationship between Beaumier and Stone, and, if necessary, addressing the applicability of G. L. c. 152, § 18,2 as well as the other issues raised by the parties.
