The claimants were wildlife cameramen working for the respondent. They sought bargaining rights for their trade Union. The Committee decided that since they were not regulated by any disciplinary committee or body, they were not professionals, and therefore were workers, and their union was entitled to the recognition requested. The respondent appealed.
Held: The test applied by the committee, as to whether they were regulated by a body with disciplinary powers was not justified in any statute or law, and was incorrect. Case remitted.
