Minimum wage and barristers

The Court of Appeal has reversed an earlier decision of the High Court (see Bargaining Report, November 1999) and held that while a pupil barrister does have a legally binding contract with the barristers' chambers, it is not a contract of apprenticeship. This means that there is no right to be paid at the minimum wage. (Edmonds v Lawson and others)
