APPEAL DISMISSED
APPRENTICESHIP QUESTION
The appeal by James William Barker, cabinetmaker, and John Peter Michael, proposed apprentice, against a decision of the Auckland Furniture Trades' Apprenticeship Committee, refusing permission to Mr. Barker to employ an apprentice, has been dismissed by the Arbitration Court. The ground of the refusal by the committee was that no journeymen were employed. In delivering the judgment of the Court, Mr. Justice Tyndall said that the relevant provision of the apprenticeship order was that "the proportion of apprentices to journeymen shall not exceed one to every two journeymen or fraction of two employed in the branch of the trade in which such apprentice is apprenticed."
As Mr. Barker employed no journeymen whatsoever and there was no provision in the apprenticeship order prescribing that the employer might be counted as a journeyman for the purposes of the proportion clause, the Court must uphold the unanimous decision of the Apprenticeship Committee and the appeal was consequently dismissed.
