Employment – Contract of employment. The employment tribunal had found that the employees had been employed under contracts of apprenticeship. The employer, the Revenue and Customs Commissioners, appealed. The issue was whether workers at a livery stable were employed under contracts of work on apprenticeships for the purposes of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 and the National Minimum Wage Regulations 1999, SI 1999/584. The Employment Appeal Tribunal, in allowing the appeal, held that the tribunal had erred in finding that the employees had been employed under contracts of apprenticeship.
