Servant Legal Meaning and Definition

Here is a simplified definition of the legal term Servant.

Servant (noun): Refers to a person who performs tasks or duties under the direction and control of an individual or entity, known as the 'master'. This relationship, often governed by an agreement, involves a commitment to perform a specific set of activities within a certain time frame for an agreed-upon reward. Unlike a contractor, a servant's work is more closely regulated by the master, while a contractor simply needs to complete a job as per the owner's satisfaction.
