'The judge said the implications of his constitutional finding went far beyond the individual electricians' SEO.' Stock ImageThe High Court has put a six month stay on an order striking down a law setting minimum pay and conditions for certain sectors of industry. The judge said the implications of his constitutional finding went far beyond the individual electricians' SEO. However, he said, crucially even this finding would not preclude the putting in place of primary legislation imposing minimum rates of pay and remuneration in any particular sector. The judge said that last month's decision was concerned solely with identifying which branch of government, was entitled to regulate the terms and conditions of employment.
