Existence and uniqueness for infinitesimal dislocation based rate-independent gradient plasticity with linear isotropic hardening and plastic spin are shown using convex analysis and variational inequality methods. The dissipation potential is extended non-uniquely from symmetric plastic rates to non-symmetric plastic rates and three qualitatively different formats for the dissipation potential are distinguished.
